Anna Vissi pays tribute to the late Giorgos Mazonakis during OAKA concert

During a massive concert at the Olympic Stadium (OAKA) in Athens, attended by over 95,000 spectators, singer Anna Vissi held a poignant tribute to the late artist Giorgos Mazonakis. Expressing her profound grief over his sudden and premature passing, Vissi shared personal memories with the audience and projected his image on the stadium's large screens.

Highlighting their artistic connection, Vissi explained that she had previously witnessed Mazonakis becoming deeply emotional while listening to her song "To Treno" (The Train), which she performed in his honor. She also performed "Kathe Vrady tou Savvatou" (Every Saturday Night), stating that, symbolically, all Saturdays now belong to him. Her public tribute served as a way for the music community to process the shock of the artist's unexpected death, which other figures, such as singer Melina Aslanidou, have described as a tragic and violent loss.

The event, which occurred in late September 2026, underscored the deep impact of Mazonakis's passing on the Greek public and his peers. While Vissi noted that she was initially too shocked to address the news properly, she used this major performance to honor his legacy, with footage of the tribute quickly gaining significant traction on social media platforms.
