Lebanon\'s instability makes me sad

Lebanese Singer Elissa Popular Lebanese singer Elissa expressed her deepest sorrow at the situation in her country Lebanon, and also in Egypt, which she considers her second home. She said: "This atmosphere has ruined my happiness with my new album, 'The Happiest One'."

The album was supposed to be released on June 26, but Elissa and the producing company Rotana decided to release it on the 27th without giving a reason.
