Marinella: Video from last rehearsal before collapse at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus

A video from Marinella's last rehearsal before her performance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, where she collapsed, was released by Eleftheria Deko, the lighting designer who collaborated with the singer.

Eleftheria Deko accompanied the video with a farewell message, referring to Marinella's love and passion for art. In the video, Marinella performs the song "Με πνίγει τούτη η σιωπή" (This Silence Suffocates Me).

According to Deko's Facebook post, Marinella passed away at the age of 87, following complications from a severe stroke she suffered on stage at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in September 2024. She had only managed to perform two songs. She collapsed while performing the third song of the evening, "Τα λόγια είναι περιττά" (Words are Unnecessary).

She was transferred to "Ygeia" hospital, where she was hospitalized from September 25, 2024, to January 21, 2025. Despite being discharged and returning home, her condition deteriorated and she eventually passed away.

Deko wrote in her post: "Όχι, όχι η Μαρινέλλα δεν έφυγε… Πώς μπορεί να φύγει;; Είναι χαραγμένη στις καρδιές μας !! [...] Marinella our unique love does not end or leave… And from up there you will continue to sing for us".
