Rock 'n' roll pioneer Fats Domino has been rescued from the New Orleans disaster, according to his daughter.
The 77-year-old musician, best known for his boogie-woogie piano style and such hits as Ain't That a Shame, had been reported missing.
Domino, whose real name is Antoine, spoke to his manager twice on Sunday and told him he would "ride out the storm".
Nobody had heard from him since - but now daughter Karen Domino White said she has seen a photo of her father taken by the local New Orleans newspaper.
The pic showed the music legend being helped off a boat by rescuers.
Karen has told a US news agency: "We're very relieved", although she does not know her father's current whereabouts.
That's the latest from ITN.
