Rumored as winning candidates, Pirro Çako and Arilena Ara reveal why they withdrew from the 'Magic Song' competition

Two very well-known singers, Pirro Çako and Arilena Ara, have withdrawn from the "Magic Song" competition before the final night.

The duo, who were in a duet together, are reported to have withdrawn due to a health problem with Pirro, who has a cold and is unable to sing.

The much-discussed news in the pink media has been confirmed by the producer and director of the festival, Ardit Gjebrea. He said that he is sorry that Pirro will not be at the festival, but due to illness, he had to make this decision.

"Can you hear my voice? I also have a cold, but at least I won't sing. Unfortunately, Pirro is also unwell and as long as he is in a duet, I'm sorry that this duet won't be at the festival tonight, but you can't help the illness," he said in a statement to tvklan, clarifying that the reason is entirely health-related.
