First off, Fakhri didn&#8217;t start performing until an hour after the show was scheduled to begin.<br \/>  <br \/>  When he finally managed to arrive at his own performance, the singer appeared with a cane and was essentially being carried by two men who sat him down in a chair on stage. It took him nearly a full minute to pronounce the words &#8220;good evening.&#8221; Honestly, his strange antics made it seem as though he&#8217;d recently suffered a stroke.<br \/>  <br \/>  What&#8217;s more &#8211; Fakhri barely sang during the concert. His son, Anas, and a couple of other guest artists performed some famed Syrian songs with Fakhri singing &#8211; at best &#8211; a few words during the entire concert.<br \/>  <br \/>  In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-akhbar.com\/node\/188575\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Al-Akhbar newspaper&#8217;s<\/i><\/a>&#8216;s interview with Anas on August 8, he claimed his father was &#8220;doing his best to prepare and exercise ahead of the concert,&#8221; adding that the iconic Syrian singer is &#8220;doing very well.&#8221;<br \/>  <br \/>  If you went to see Fakhri&#8217;s show last night, you&#8217;d say just the opposite.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday night, famed singer Sabah Fakhri performed live at Beirut Souks as part of the Beirut
