Statement from the children of Antoine “Fats” Domino, Jr.

We are all touched by the outpouring of love and tribute for our father.  He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by those he loved and those who loved him. His music reached across all boundaries and carried him to all corners of the world.

…Then I rock myself to sleep
Prayin’ that I am here to keep
Then I ride the rising sun
Gee ain’t I being a lucky one

We thank you for allowing us to grieve privately during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements are pending.
