In a rare and poignant appearance, Fairuz attended the funeral of her late son, artist Ziad Rahbani , accompanied by her daughter Rima Rahbani, Minister Elias Bou Saab, and his wife, artist Julia Boutros.

The moment she stepped out of the car was filled with emotion, amidst thunderous applause from the audience and a large security and media presence. The emotion was clearly evident on their faces, in a rare scene of a mother bidding farewell to her son in public.

Dignity amidst sadness...

How are you? A song created with boldness and difference One of the most notable collaborations between Fairuz and Ziad was the song "Keifak Inta," which, while now considered a classic of Lebanese music, sparked considerable controversy upon its release due to its distinctive style. Ziad Rahbani recounted in a previous television interview how he presented the song to his mother, and her initial hesitation, before she agreed to record it four years later. The song divided the public, but it achieved widespread success and proved that differences could be the beginning of a new era in music.

An unforgettable shared history between a mother and her son Despite the occasional media-reported disagreements between Fairuz and Ziad, their relationship held a unique artistic and human character. Their collaboration was full of experimentation and depth, forming a duo unlike any other in Arabic music. Ziad was a spiritual and artistic extension of Fairuz's career, and his loss signifies not only the passing of a musician, but also the loss of a partner in a long journey of creativity, shared values, and a voice that knew how to reintroduce Fairuz in the language of his time.
