Amazing news, Riyadh. The amazing Egyptian legend Amr Diab will be playing Riyadh on February 24.

If you think you’ve never heard of Amr Diab himself, there’s a good chance you’ve heard one of his songs – they’ve been featured in dozens of movies and TV shows, from Malcolm in the Middle to The Dictator.

Those have songs have helped Diab, 52, shift an estimated 30 million records, reportedly making him the best-selling Arabic singer ever.

The man really is a legend: his global sales have already beaten the 50 million mark, and the singer/songwriter has won the World Music Award for Best Selling Middle Eastern Artist four times, in 1998, 2002, 2007 and 2009.
