Nikos Oikonomopoulos pays tribute to Giorgos Mazonakis at Patras concert
On Friday, September 25, singer Nikos Oikonomopoulos held a concert at the Petra Theater, which had been previously rescheduled following the sudden death of fellow artist Giorgos Mazonakis on September 9. The event, originally set for September 11, served as a tribute to the late singer, with Oikonomopoulos sharing personal reflections on their relationship and dedicating two musical performances to his memory.
During the performance, Oikonomopoulos addressed his audience, emphasizing that Mazonakis’s legacy would endure through his music. He notably commented on the personal nature of their friendship, stating that the depth of his affection and the support he provided were known only to them. He also urged the public to refrain from speculating or creating "love-meters" regarding personal relationships, criticizing the media and social media discourse surrounding Mazonakis’s private life and family dynamics.
Oikonomopoulos encouraged his fans to honor the late artist by listening to his songs, asserting that these works remain the true connection between the performer and his public. The concert concluded as a memorial tribute, with the performer calling on the audience to send their love to the late singer.
