Adel Imam's son responds to rumors that his father suffers from Alzheimer's and prevents him from appearing in the media. Adel Imam’s failure to attend the “Joy Award” ceremony sparked controversy, as he was given an exceptional award in the name of “Leader of Arab Art,” and his youngest son, the actor Mohamed Imam, received it.
His family contented themselves with displaying a short audio message to him containing words of thanks to the audience. The last appearance of the artist was on May 17 of last year, during his celebration of his 83rd birthday.
