Greek singer Demis Roussos died on January 25 2015 in an Athens hospital at the age of 68.

The Egyptian-born singer, who became popular in the Sixties and Seventies, had been in the private hospital with an undisclosed illness for some time.

Artemios Roussos was born in Alexandria on June 15, 1945 to a Greek father who took the family back to Greece in 1961, following the effects of the Suez Crisis in the mid-Fifties.

The singer sold more than 60 million records throughout the world.
