As it became known, the singer was dropped just a few days before the concert (on September 25), as he did not attend the second rehearsal, which displeased the great performer. The reason for his absence was, as he himself revealed, a sudden health problem.
The journalist and radio producer emphasized Marinella’s professionalism and consistency, and while he did not question Christos Mastore’s health issue, he did not rule out the possibility that his behavior may not have been exemplary.

Specifically, he stated: «On one hand, it sounds like a departure, and on the other hand, it sounds like an expulsion; I don’t know which it is in the end, I don’t have a report. Just with the knowledge I have from these 3.5 decades in the field, I know Marinella and I believe there would have been the utmost professionalism and utmost consistency, because that’s how Marinella is. And on the other hand, without again knowing, I say this because the man has issued a statement talking about a health problem. I know that younger artists are a bit more casual, so to speak humorously. That is, “I don’t care, I’ll go for a quarter of an hour, half an hour late to rehearsal, I don’t care if I don’t know the lyrics, I’ll learn some songs later.” It’s not like that. If this happened, which I believe would have bothered Marinella, who is a perfectionist and a stickler for detail, she rightly said, ‘Take the songs, Antonis, to sing them’.»
When asked if Christos Mastore wronged himself, Poseidon Giannopoulos replied: «I believe that when such a supreme gift happens to you, to be with the best in the top venue called Herodion, when you have the opportunity to duet with another great, my beloved Charoula Alexiou, when you have also been given the great luck to duet with the great George Dalaras and partake in his concerts, even if you are sick, you camp out with a little tent at Herodion so you don’t miss any rehearsal. Of course, he wronged himself.»
The background of the departure
On Tuesday, September 24, it was announced that Marinella excluded Christos Mastore from her concert at Herodion, scheduled for Wednesday, September 25.
According to reports, Christos Mastore had a sudden indisposition, being unable to attend the second rehearsal, resulting in Marinella’s displeasure.
This specific issue was commented on in the show “Buongiorno,” which cited the report by Nikos Georgiadis. According to this, as well as information from Faye Skorda, the reason for the removal of the singer from the concert of the well-known singer was the fact that the frontman of “Melisses” did not attend the second rehearsal, which took place on Tuesday.

Specifically, the presenter stated: «The information I received is that Christos Mastore did not go to the second rehearsal, and this was something that greatly displeased Marinella, who announced that a person who is not consistent in rehearsals for something so important, when she is – I imagine – consistent in her work, in doing rehearsals, cannot be in the final result at the concert.
However, the report notes that it was an indisposition that kept Christos Mastore out of the scheduled rehearsals, a fact that displeased the great performer, who made the difficult decision to remove him from the program of the live event.
The concert will also feature Antonis Remos, who, according to the same report, will take over to fill the gap created by performing the songs that the “Melisses” singer was supposed to sing.
Christos Mastore’s post
The singer made a post a few hours later regarding the news, where he confirmed that he indeed had a «sudden health problem» and thanked Marinella for the opportunity she gave him.
Diving into details, he wrote: “I had the great honor that Mrs. Marinella entrusted me to appear next to her at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus this Wednesday. Unfortunately, a sudden health problem did not allow me to attend the 2nd rehearsal, nor to appear at the concert. I thank this great voice of ours for her trust and you for your messages. I am sure that those of you who are at the packed Herodion will experience an unforgettable musical experience!”.
