Speaking to Mega\u2019s Live News<\/em> ahead of his major concert in Thessaloniki on Saturday, Remos said Mazonakis\u2019 death was particularly difficult because he was so young.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat happened was very abrupt and sudden. It is a great shame that such young people leave so suddenly,\u201d Remos said.<\/p>\n The singer urged people to remember Mazonakis through his music and the artistic legacy he leaves behind.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we will keep is all this legacy he leaves us, all these songs, all these wonderful moments that we have experienced, both you as listeners and us as the people closest to him,\u201d Remos said.<\/p>\n \u201cLet only these moments remain. All the rest that happens, why and how it happened, are unfortunately things that are only sad, only bad.\u201d<\/p>\n Remos also addressed the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mazonakis\u2019 death.<\/p>\n He said the authorities should establish exactly what happened and hold anyone responsible accountable.<\/p>\n \u201cJustice should do its job and reveal what is necessary and, if there are those responsible, they should be punished accordingly. But now, unfortunately, nothing is going back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n His comments come as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the singer\u2019s sudden death.<\/p>\n While mourning the loss of Mazonakis, Remos is also preparing for a major milestone in his own career.<\/p>\n The singer will perform in Thessaloniki on Saturday as part of celebrations marking 30 years in Greek music.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been thirty years. It\u2019s been a journey of a lifetime,\u201d Remos said.<\/p>\n The concert has attracted fans from across Greece and the wider Balkans, with visitors travelling to Thessaloniki for the celebrations and accompanying exhibition.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have come from all over Greece. They have come from many places, from the surrounding areas, from the Balkans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople have come for this week, this weekend, to see the exhibition and of course to see my concert, and I think that is very honourable and very beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n Remos said he wants to put the surrounding controversy aside and allow the music to take centre stage.<\/p>\n \u201cI leave whatever things were created, I put them aside,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Reflecting on his three decades in music, Remos said the concert will bring together some of the most important moments of his career.<\/p>\n His journey has included performances in nightclubs and theatres, major concerts and collaborations with some of Greece\u2019s leading artists and composers.<\/p>\n \u201cI really have unique and rare moments to remember over these thirty years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Remos plans to bring many of those memories together during the approximately three hour performance.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will try to squeeze all of this together into these three hours. Three hours of music and only music,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He also made clear what he wants audiences to experience on Saturday night.<\/p>\n \u201cI want tomorrow to be just music. For the words to stop, for all of us to finish talking and for the music to begin. And then, on Monday, things will return to their normal place,\u201d Remos said.<\/p>\n Remos also addressed discussion surrounding a statue at the concert venue, insisting that no structure has been placed on it or altered it.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd the statue is in place. The statue, I mean, has no structure resting on it. So, let\u2019s emphasise that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He ended with a message directed towards the audience and the reaction expected inside the venue.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom there on, any reactions will be seen in the applause.\u201d<\/p>\nRemos calls for justice to take its course<\/h3>\n
