It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that Demis Roussos – Artemios Ventouris Roussos – the legendary Greek pop/rock singer & musician with the great soft voice, has died aged 69. Demis was born in June 15th, 1946.
In 1967, Demis Roussos along with Vangelis Papathanassiou, Loukas Sideras and Anargyros “Silver” Koulouris, they formed the celebrated progressive group Aphrodite’s Child. Demis has sold over 60 million albums worldwide.
Roussos died on January 25th 2015, while hospitalized at Ygeia Hospital in Athens, Greece. His death was confirmed a day later by his friend, the journalist Nikos Aliagas, who tweeted the news on January 26th 2015 in both Greek and French. His death was confirmed later the same day by his daughter, who spoke to Greek and French media.
