Dimitris Mitropanos died this morning after a heart attack. The famous singer was rushed to the hospital where doctors stabilized his heart condition, but a pulmonary edema caused his death...
Mitropanos was born on April 2nd 1948 in the city of Trikala in northwest Thessaly where he lived until the age of 16. He began his musical career in 1964.
During his career worked with some of the best known Greek composers, such as Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarhakos, Manos Hadjidakis, Giorgos Zampetas, Dimos Moutsis, Apostolos Kaldaras, Takis Mousafiris, Christos Nikolopoulos, Marios Tokas and Thanos Mikroutsikos and had been one of the top performers of Greek popular music for over four decades.
In the latest years, Mitropanos worked with a many younger singers and performed live all over Greece.
Two years ago, he made a North American Tour, playing to a near-capacity crowd at the Radio City Music Hall in New York in July of 2010.
RIP Dimitri...

More than likely, all posters on this article are Greek expats like myself. Mitropanos was a great singer however let us put things into perspective. He is one of hundreds of Greek singers that paid no tax and helped bring Greece to it’s current state of affairs.He lived a wonderful life singing all the way to the bank while we struggled to adopt to our new homelands. May he truly rest in peace.I am more concerned however for the people that struggle in Greece on a daily basis for survival.

Just want to say that we lost one of the greatest singers of all times. May he rest in peace! For the clown that stated that he is to blame for the down fall of the Greek economy. You’re an idiot and you should seek help , your a miserable loner and hater. Get your life together and stick to listening to Motörhead. Your a pathetic piece of trash critizing a man who brought Greek music to the level that it’s at!!!!

@Tommy………….. Democracy that our Greek ancestors developed gives everyone the right to express their opinion. I did not attack anyone personally nor intend to. You are welcome to your comments. In regards to “Motorhead” you may have to educate me on who they are. I am proud 78 year old pensioner that was born in Greece, did my national service in Greece and care very much about recent developments there. Facts are facts my friend, politicians ,doctors, singers etc have brought Greece to its current financial woes thru tax evasion. I wish you good health and a good future.

Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -
The Carriage held but just Ourselves -
And Immortality….
He’ll forever live on in our heart and sound waves.
My sincere condolences to his family no doubt they will miss his presence dearly. ❥ Mitropanos left us much too soon, may he rest in peace…
His voice was a magical part of my life, Thanks Dad (rip) & Mom for the music in your “xenitia”.. I’m so grateful to have his beautiful voice in my heart & head. Thank you for posting.
