Tributes are pouring in for Pacific music legend Daniel Rae Costello who has passed away.

Close family members and friends have said that Costello passed away after a long illness.

Costello has released many hit songs like Samba, Dark Moon and Take Me To The Island that were popular here and around the Pacific.

In an emotional tribute, local artist Knox said he was forever grateful to Costello for introducing his music to the world when Costello recorded Jah Love Jah Crucify.

Knox says Costello’s music and legacy will definitely live on through the rest of us.
