The Voice to hold tribute for the late Giorgos Mazonakis

On Monday, September 14, 2026, the Greek television network SKAI announced plans to honor the memory of the late singer Giorgos Mazonakis during the premiere of the new season of the music competition show "The Voice." The announcement was made during the morning show "Live You," hosted by Aris Portosalte and Maria Anastasopoulou.

Giorgos Mazonakis was scheduled to return to the show this season as a coach before his untimely passing. In response, the production team decided to dedicate the entire first episode of the upcoming season to the artist. The tribute will feature friends and close associates of the singer taking the stage to perform his most well-known songs, aiming to celebrate his significant contribution to the Greek music scene.

This initiative serves as a formal farewell from the production to a performer who was slated to play a key role in the program's current cycle. The tribute reflects the network's commitment to honoring the legacy of the artist who had been an integral part of their planned programming.
