Friends, fans and fellow musicians continue to pay tribute to Robert Gordon today, following news of the American rockabilly revival icon's death on Tuesday, aged 75.

His label, Cleopatra Records, confirmed the news on their social media platforms yesterday.

"Cleopatra Records would like to offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends," the label wrote. "We liked working with Robert and will miss his powerful baritone vocal as well as his focused dedication to his music."

Gordon, who was a well-known presence in New York's punk scene in the '70s, released numerous albums throughout his career, including projects like 1977's Robert Gordon with Link Wray, 1978's Fresh Fish Special, 1979's Rock Billy Boogie, and 1981's Are You Gonna Be The One. He released Rockabilly for Life in 2020, via Cleopatra Records.

Gordon was also an actor, who starred alongside Willem Dafoe in the 1981 biker film The Loveless. He also provided the music for the film.

Cáit O'Riordan is among those who have paid tribute to Gordon following the news of his death.

"Our Rockabilly King Robert Gordon has gone," she wrote on Twitter. "He was movie-star handsome and magnificently charismatic, a proper rock'n'roll rogue and always with that great amused look on his beautiful face. Time now to light a candle and blast 'The Way I Walk'"

Robert Gordon was a rockabilly legend. He started his career at Bethesda Chevy Chase High in West Side Story and went on to record with Link Wray. He had THE VOICE. R-I-P Robert. @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/77Sw5Lbr40

Some of the best nights of my life were spent in The Cadillac Lounge watching Robert Gordon up on stage, a pint glass full of bourbon in his hand, demonstrating why he was the true King of Rockabilly. He will be missed. pic.twitter.com/ZlTPlNnSGk

Robert Gordon has left the building. Had the pleasure of opening for him once in NYC in 1986. An incredible singer and presence. I’ve never met longtime Dylan bassist Tony Garnier, but if I do, this is the only thing I’m gonna ask him about. ❤️ https://t.co/a5iucS7iVm

Just learned of the passing of Robert Gordon.
He helped bring Rockabilly to a new generation in the 70s. His work with Chris Spedding was monster.
