Faizal Tahir feels it's unfair to refuse concert requests from fans

Malaysian music veteran Faizal Tahir is set to return to the stage for a major concert, "Faizal Tahir: Suara Rakyat," on October 3 at Unifi Stadium, Bukit Jalil. This event marks a significant comeback for the artist, who has been a prominent figure in the local music scene for two decades.

“

I finally realized the hardest feeling to let go of is responsibility. I feel it's unfair if I, an artist who has gone through all sorts of ups and downs in my career, don't fulfill the fans' requests.

Tahir, 48, revealed that the decision to hold the concert was not initially planned but emerged from a deep sense of responsibility towards his fans. He expressed that it would be unfair to refuse their requests, especially given their unwavering support throughout his career, including during difficult times. "When I fell, it was the fans who lifted me back up," he stated, emphasizing the reciprocal relationship he shares with his audience.

When I fell, it was the fans who lifted me back up. There were people in the industry who helped raise my name again. That's what makes me feel this is a responsibility.

The singer admitted that he had previously resisted numerous concert proposals over the past three years, feeling unprepared. However, the persistent requests, likened to children asking for something repeatedly, eventually led him to agree. "Three years people asked me to hold a concert. So I'm doing it. After that, don't bother me," he said with a laugh, hinting at a desire to focus on other aspects of his life post-concert.

While acknowledging the demands of the entertainment industry, Tahir's current life priorities have shifted. His family, particularly his children, now take precedence. He aims to provide them with a stable environment amidst the challenges of the modern world. "At my age now, thank God, my children are grown. I have many things I need to focus on. Children need me in this very challenging world," he explained. The concert, therefore, represents a balance between his enduring commitment to his art and his dedication to his family.
