Tributes have flooded social media since news of Domino’s passing broke overnight.

“The passing of Fats Domino is a great loss to music fans across Louisiana and the world,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement.

“To this day, he is adored by people of all ages, from all walks of life and musicians from all genres.  That is a testament to his skills as a pianist and as a songwriter.

“Known as a legend and one of the greatest recording artists of all times, there’s no denying that when he played a song he transformed it into something spectacular.

“Our hearts are heavy today, but we will always remember his love for life and New Orleans through his iconic music.”
