Goodbye
Demis Roussos
Artemios "Demis" Ventouris Roussos (15 June 1946 – 25 January 2015)
Was a Greek singer and performer who had
international hit records as a solo
performer in the 1970s after having been a
member of Aphrodite's Child, a progressive rock group that also included Vangelis.
He sold over 60 million albums worldwide.
Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria,
Egypt, in a family where his father George was
Greek and mother Nelly Mazloum was Egyptian
of Italian origin. His parents lost their
possessions during the Suez Crisis and
consequently decided to move to Greece.
Roussos began a solo career with the song "We Shall Dance" in
1971. Initially unsuccessful, he toured
around Europe and became a leading
artist. His popularity in the rest of Europe, came to fascinate people wordwilde.
Roussos died in the morning of 25 January 2015, at Ygeia Hospital in Athens
