NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Fats Domino, whose manager had reported him missing in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, was rescued by boat from his flooded New Orleans home, a photograph showed.
The picture in the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper, taken late Monday after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, showed the 1950s and '60s-era musician -- known for hits like "Ain't That a Shame" and "Blueberry Hill" -- being helped off a boat near his three-storey home in one of the most heavily flooded sections of the city.
He was believed to have been taken to New Orleans's Superdome stadium, where refugees became stranded, with no way of contacting relatives.
