Demis Roussos, Greek singer
 
 

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.

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