SARASOTA, Fla., April 13 Despite fan requests to the contrary, Nana Mouskouri's upcoming shows will be the Greek singer's last in North America."I'm not going to change my mind," says Mouskouri, 72, who began a worldwide farewell tour in 2005 and just began a U.S. swing that includes shows in West Palm Beach, Fla., New York City and Boston. Canadian dates are scheduled for June, and a British tour is planned for October. "It's a nice way to say goodbye. I wanted to say 'thank you' to the audience for all these wonderful years they have supported me," he said. "There just comes a time when you feel there's a lot of new things around -- new singers, new music -- and it's time to make room for them." The classically trained Mouskouri, known for her jazz-inspired repertoire and black-rimmed glasses, has been performing since 1958 and has released nearly 600 recordings in several different languages. She's received 350 gold and platinum album awards.Her legacy also includes a five year stint in the European Parliament from 1994-99.Copyright 2007 by UPI
