Assi El-Hallani

Lebanese singer Assi El-Hallani appeared wearing a neck brace with bruises covering his face in recent photos after his horseback riding accident.

Lebanese journalist Jamal Fayad visited the singer and said his survival was a miracle. He said: “As he mentioned, he was on an outing with riders at his farm with his son Al-Waleed. Assi said he does not remember what happened exactly, and that is when Al-Waleed said the horse stumbled and Assi fell in front of it and the horse fell on him. The left side of Assi’s face hit the ground as he fell on his left arm and the horse threw itself on him with all its weight, pressing his neck and ribcage.”

Arab celebrities took to Twitter to wish him a speedy recovery.

Egyptian singer Tamer Hosny @ tamerhosny said: “Praying for your safety my dear Assi. Come on and recover safely for your audience, champ.”

Lebanese singer Carole Samaha @ CAROLE_SAMAHA said: “Thank god for your safety, Assi. Whoever has a heart as brave as yours will overcome all obstacles, god-willing.”
