He passed away at the age of 72 Lizeta Nikolaou. The beloved singer has recently been in the ICU of a private clinic, after a serious injury she suffered a few days ago when she fell down the stairs of a shop.

“What a shame. What a shame. Have a good trip, my little Lizette, as I always told you” said the Eleni Dimos in her post, saying goodbye to Lizeta Nikolaou.

Lizeta Nikolaou (real name Elisavet Katikaridou) was born in 1951 in Thessaloniki (Kalamaria) to Pontius, refugee parents. She has been involved in singing since her school days. After a proposal was made to her, she passed an audition to do second voices in “Deilina”, where in the 1970s the cream of the Greek pentagram appeared (Dionysiou, Parios, Dalaras, Alexiou, etc.). She remained in “Deilina” for many seasons where she now appeared as the permanent partner of Stratos Dionysios.

In the discography first introduced in 1973 in compositions by Takis Soukas and lyrics by Iraklis Papasideris. He performed songs by Mikis Theodorakis and appeared with great creators and performers, such as Yannis Markopoulos (“Thessalikos circle” etc.), Vassilis Tsitsanis, Charalambos Garganourakis, Vicky Moscholiou and Dimitra Galani. In 1977, her first personal album was released entitled “Lizeta’s smile” and songs signed by some of the greatest Greek artists, such as Dimos Moutsis, Yiannis Spanos, Vassilis Tsitsanis and Yiannis Markopoulos.

In 1980, her second personal album “S’ agapisa, m’ agapises” was released with songs by G. Markopoulos, A. Vardi and Chr. Nikolopoulos. Other records followed, such as “Lizetta’s Heads”, 1985, “So Loves Are Lost”, 1986, “I Want to Resist”, 1989, “Night Loves”, 1990, “Teren Mana How I Dance”, 1992, ” My Father’s Songs”, 1995, “Pontiac Rhapsody”, 1997. In 1985, the disc titled “Pontiac songs with Lizeta Nikolaou” was released, born from the ERT television series “The Great Debt”, scripted by Dimitris Iatropoulou, which was dedicated to the history of Pontus.

As he had said, among other things, on a TV show a few years ago, “I left my career up to her, I have no repulsion. After the ‘Thessalian Circle’ and all the collaboration with G. Markopoulos, big stores started asking me – it was like a fairy tale. I tell this to girls and boys and they tell me ‘but this is a fairy tale you’re telling us!’ Why do they work so hard, and they came so easily to me!”

From 1978 to 1983 she was married to George Lianis, with whom she had a son, Alexander.
