What his close friend says about the great folk singer
Vassilis Karras and Paschalis Terzis they had been on and off for several years, but the reason why they weren’t talking was never revealed. So today, on the air of the show “Socionia houra Mega”, the journalist Theologos Ilios revealed that the two they worked out any differences they had and had even communicated several times over the past four months.
“Vassilis Karras himself had spoken two years ago to Nikos Hatzinikolaou about their relations. The two of them and Zafeiris Melas had started together here in Thessaloniki, they had a very close friendship. For some reasons we do not know, only Mr. Terzis can now tell us, they had broken off relations. Vassilis Karras himself had spoken with pain, he had said that it hurts him that they don’t talk anymore.
But Vassilis Karras, in the last months, settled all his accounts, managed to overcome this problem in this relationship as well. And we reveal today that they had communicated several times on the phone in the last four months, when Vassilis Karras was having a very difficult time”, said Theologos Iliou.
“He looked out for everyone and loathed the so-called”
He spoke about the character of Vassilis Karras in “Society Hour Mega” with Anthi Voulgari and Iordanis Hasapopoulos and the childhood friend of the great folk singer, Nikos Voskopoulos.
“You cannot imagine what a humble artist he was. He looked after everyone, he cooked and baked. He had an incredibly high IQ. I feel a void inside me. He loathed the so-called. He accepted everyone, he was hospitable. He wasn’t the celebrity type. He passed the messages in his own way. He was amused by what he was reading, but said nothing. All his songs have gone down in history. He put 17,000 people in Bulgaria in one stadium and there were another 10,000 outside,” he initially said.
“He was a year older than me, and he always told me, ‘kid, you’ll always be counted.’ He was very understanding with the people. For 2 years now he understood that the “story” was ending. He was an example for everyone and for his family, he was overprotective. Nothing affected him. He had many professional “stabs”. I’m in the air psychologically, it bothered me a lot”, added Nikos Voskopoulos.
