The legendary rock 'n' roller has passed away aged 89.
The very sad news is that one of the true rock 'n' roll greats, Fats Domino, has passed away in New Orleans aged 89.
Famed for tunes like ‘Blueberry Hill’ and ‘Ain’t That A Shame’, Fats, real name Antoine Domino Jr., sold a whopping 65 million records worldwide.
Tributes have been pouring in with Hozier noting: “Was listening to Fats Domino recently, very sad to hear of his passing and so glad of the work he leaves behind.”

Here's hoping Fats gets a real New Orleans send-off, Dixieland band and all. So sorry he's gone, so glad for his tunes.
