Following the death of Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis at age 54 due to cardiac arrest, various artists and public figures have issued tributes and commented on the circumstances of his passing. Russian DJ M. Hustler, who had a three-year professional relationship with Mazonakis, shared a tribute noting their past collaboration on the viral remix of ‘Nikotini’. The DJ expressed a commitment to preserving the singer’s musical legacy, stating, ‘I will make sure our music lives forever.’ Singer Eleni Foureira honored Mazonakis during a live performance at the ‘Day of Positive Energy’ event. Describing him as a significant figure in Greek folk music who ‘refused to be confined by labels’, Foureira dedicated a performance of ‘Hallelujah’ to his memory, telling the audience, ‘As long as I live, Mazo.’ During a concert in Thessaloniki on September 19, Giannis Parios honored Mazonakis by performing ‘Pote Pote’. Parios revealed the song was originally written for Mazonakis following a request from the singer, though Mazonakis did not hear it in time. Parios described the late singer as a ‘wonderful, honest child.’ At the same ‘Positive Energy Day’ event, singer Anastasia described Mazonakis as an ‘autodidact star’ and led a sing-along of ‘Ores Mikres’ after inviting Andreas Karantinis to the stage with Mazonakis’s last bouzouki. Comedian Alexandros Tsovelas, who maintained contact with the artist, addressed the ongoing investigation and allegations involving a pair of doctors. Tsovelas expressed shock at these developments, criticizing the ‘devaluation of human life and dignity in favor of profit’ and expressing frustration with those who exploit tragic events for attention. Singer Nikos Vertis later reflected on the singer’s sudden death, expressing sadness regarding Mazonakis’s struggle with depression. ## Claims - Giannis Parios dedicated a performance to Giorgos Mazonakis in Thessaloniki.
