Domino a no-show

Fats Domino, the headliner for New Orleans' Jazz Fest's final day, cancelled his performance several hours before he was to take the stage on the weekend. Festival organisers declined to say why the 78-year-old would not play.

The six-day festival over two weekends drew enthusiastic crowds of locals and out-of-towners eager to support the storm-ravaged city and its music.
