• Sherine reflects on recovery, describing it as a new beginning after health crisis
• Widespread praise for artistic and public support that helped her through a difficult period

Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel Wahab has broken her silence in her first media remarks following her recent health ordeal, speaking about her recovery journey and expressing deep gratitude to fellow artists she described as her “true backbone” during a challenging time.

In a phone interview with a television program, Sherine reflected on her treatment experience at a medical facility, saying it marked a turning point in her life that felt like a “new beginning.”

She described moments during her recovery when she felt as though she was drowning before holding on to a lifeline that brought her back.

“I am still alive, and I want to return to singing. Singing is not just a job or money—it is life itself,” she said.

Sherine also spoke about the support she received from several artists, noting that many of those moments felt more like family support than professional relationships.

She praised actress Zina, calling her a “loyal friend,” and said she not only offered emotional support but also cared for her daughters during her absence.

She expressed gratitude to Ahmed Saad and Aziz El Shafei, describing them as “brothers she was never born to.”

She also highlighted Mahmoud El Leithy, who welcomed her into his home and hosted her within his family, calling it an example of authenticity and humanity.

Sherine further mentioned a phone call from Haifa Wehbe, saying it had a strong positive psychological impact during her crisis.

Speaking about her return to the studio, she revealed feelings of anxiety while recording her new song “Al-Hodn Shawk,” saying her hands were shaking from tension as she performed.

She concluded her remarks with a message to her fans, expressing deep appreciation for their continuous support, which she said was a key reason she overcame her ordeal, adding: “You are my blood and soul… today I will sleep without fear or anxiety.”
