Died at the weekend, apparently. Sadly not in time to see his fellow Greeks get the system to fuck the system:

Never mind Abigail's Party, let's have a bit of Aphrodite's Child!

Blimey! Only just been playing '666', totally unaware of the news. RIP Demis.

2 70s prog titans in a matter of days. Very sad. He may have been the housewives choice in the Kaftan but Demis Roussos' work with Aphrodite's Child, particularly on "666" is amazing.
I've always had a small hope that he and Vangelis might get together and tour that album, but alas, not to be.
RIP.

RIP.
That was an idea I'd also had for when I get the inevitable call to curate Meltdown. Sod's law it'll be this year.

Yes. Somehow I can't imagine Alison Steadman badgering her husband to "put 666 on!" R.I.P.
