Nikos Oikonomopoulos had a surprising encounter on stage when a panerias, a basket filled with flowers, was hurled at him, landing squarely on his face.
The incident occurred during one of his live performances at the popular nightclub Fantasia, where the artist has been captivating audiences after his highly successful stint in Thessaloniki.
Oikonomopoulos, a beloved figure in the Greek music scene, has consistently drawn large crowds to his concerts and nightclub performances. A hallmark of his shows is the tradition of fans throwing flowers on stage, a gesture of admiration in Greek entertainment culture. However, this practice occasionally leads to mishaps, with the singer sometimes receiving the floral offerings in less-than-ideal ways—such as directly to the face. While he has addressed this with light remarks or silent disapproval in the past, a recent incident captured widespread attention.
A TikTok video that quickly gained traction showed Oikonomopoulos performing his hit song “Fallen Angel” when a patron’s panerias struck him on the face. In the clip, the singer pauses momentarily, turns to the fan, and gives a meaningful glance before calmly gesturing for the crowd to avoid throwing flowers at his body. Despite the disruption, Oikonomopoulos maintained his composure and seamlessly continued his performance, demonstrating professionalism and poise.
