| Greek singer Demis Roussos, best known for his hit operatic pop ballads in the 1970s and 1980s, died in Athens at the weekend aged 68.
His death was announced in a brief statement Monday by the Igia clinic, where he was admitted some time ago with an undisclosed illness.
A public funeral is to take place Friday at the First Cemetery of Athens, a resting place for many Greek politicians and cultural figures.
Roussos, who was famous for his high-pitched voice and melodies inspired by Greek folklore, sold about 60 million records worldwide.
