Greek singer Demis Roussos, best known for his hit operatic pop ballads in the 1970s and 1980s, has died in Athens aged 68.

His death was announced in a brief statement by the Igia clinic, where he was admitted some time ago with an undisclosed illness.

A public funeral is to take place on Friday at the First Cemetery of Athens, a resting place for many Greek politicians and cultural figures.

Roussos, who was famous for his high-pitched voice and melodies inspired by Greek folklore, sold about 60 million records worldwide.

Undisclosed illness?

I thought he'd have been older than 68. RIP Demis.

RIP Demis.

I grew up with my parents listening to his records and have great memories of his music.

I think the earth is going to shake when Demis gets his big applause as enters the gates of heaven.
