A video circulating online sparked concern over the health of Egyptian singer Tamer Hosny after he appeared to collapse on stage during a performance at the eighth annual festival of the Actors’ Syndicate in Egypt. The incident occurred while Hosny was performing his new song, “Men Kan Ya Makan,” accompanied by a video produced using artificial intelligence technology.
The performance of “Men Kan Ya Makan” was notable for its use of AI to recreate images of prominent figures from Egyptian theatre history, including Sherihan, Adel Imam, Mohamed Sobhy, Soheir El Babli, Samiha Ayub, Ahmed Badir, Youssef Wahbi, and Ali El Kassar, according to reports from arrajol.com. The song and accompanying visuals were intended as a tribute to these icons of Egyptian stage and screen.
Hosny’s use of AI to honor these figures has been widely praised, with hiamag.com describing the video as a “moving tribute.” The production was a collaboration with TH Productions, and aimed to showcase the legacy of these influential artists.
While initial reports and social media posts suggested a serious health issue, details surrounding the incident remain unclear. aljadeed.tv reported that the video of Hosny collapsing led to widespread speculation about his condition. As of February 15, 2026, no official statement regarding his health has been released.
