Nana Mouskouri 21st century life
 Mouskouri currently lives in Switzerland with her second husband, Andr? Chapelle, whom she married on January 13, 2003. She still performs about 100 concerts each year. In 2004, her French record company released an unprecedented 34-CD box set of more than 600 of Mouskouri's mostly French songs.
Through 2008, she has planned farewell concert tours of Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, the United States, and Canada. During an interview with The Australian newspaper, when asked why this would be her final concert series, Mouskouri said she wanted to retire on a high note. I never thought that I would grow that old. It is better really to stop while you are standing well on your feet. I just want to be proud and in very good form and thank the audience for all this love, she said .
In 2006 she made a guest appearance at that year's Eurovision Song Contest which was held, for the first time ever, in her native homeland of Greece. Mouskouri has sold more than 300 million records internationally, recording about 1,500 songs in 15 languages on 450 albums. She has more than 230 gold and platinum albums worldwide.
