Manolis Mitsias Announces Retirement from Singing

Manolis Mitsias has announced his decision to retire from singing, explaining that he no longer feels the same ability to perform demanding works, such as those by Manos Hadjidakis. He emphasized the importance of knowing when it's the right time to stop, in order to respect the audience and himself. He admitted that leaving is difficult, as he will miss the love and recognition of the public, but it is an inevitable development. He also shared a story about how Manos Hadjidakis helped him quit smoking, giving him a rosary and encouraging him to believe he could do it.
