After his performance in Sydney, Bougas appeared at Melbourne’s Kinisi Live, where the atmosphere remained lively yet under control. The crowd celebrated his music, showering him with flowers and applause, creating a spirited yet respectful night of entertainment.
However, many readers of Neos Kosmos have expressed frustration over the coverage of Bougas’s Sydney show by Greek media outlets and various websites.
Greek media are yet to come to terms with Tasos Bougas’s shirt –the one torn off his back by an obsessive fan.
Images are being broadcast in Greece that make Greek Australians look like crazed Bougas fans.
Bougas himself spoke about the incident during an event in Sydney. A video surfaced on social media of the singer performing when a woman rips his shirt off. He didn’t appear to be fazed in fact continued, torso exposed, to sing on stage.
A hours after his performance, the ageing yet, popular singer spoke to the Greek TV program “Amino”, about the incident He said, he a big hit with the audience, and as soon as he came out of his dressing room, “about 300 women” were waiting for him.
“From what you saw, a lot of women were pulling me from the front, from the back and ripped off two shirts, one in the first program and one in the second.
“They tore my shirt and kissed my chest while I was singing. What should I do? What could I do? I was singing and hugging them,” said Bougas.
Bougas was asked by George Liagas if this was all part of the gig or a spontaneous gesture.
“No George, these are spontaneous – 300 women!
“They wouldn’t let me take a step,” he said.
In videos that have gone viral on social media, his Sidney audiences seem to be having fun with his songs and with ripping his shirt off.
