Crowds gathered from early Sunday afternoon in Nikaia, the birthplace of Giorgos Mazonakis, to pay their respects to the singer. <\/h3>\n

His body was placed in the Church of the Holy Trinity, where a public vigil continued into the night. The church remained open from 7:30 p.m. until the early hours of Monday so relatives, friends, colleagues, and fans could say a last goodbye.<\/p>\n

The most affecting scenes came when his parents and sisters entered the church. Relatives embraced in tears. Friends and associates stood with them. Reports from inside and outside the church described his father breaking down at the coffin, and his sisters visibly overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
