Egyptian singer Mohamed Fouad surprised everyone when he revealed his desire of retiring and quitting his artistic career after a 22 year struggle to build himself from scratch.According to the news paper “Ein” or “Eye” Fouad said that “I wish to retire, but that doesn’t mean that I will disappear, I will still be amongst the people whether in festivals or the football league, or anywhere else. All I hope for after I take this decision is that my relationship with my fans and audience remains good.”Fouad added that the reason behind his decision to retire music and singing is that recently the level of music and songs have deteriorated so much that they lack taste, it became more of an insult than music making.
