One of the pillars of Arab music, Wadih al-Safi, has died at the age of 92 in a hospital in Lebanon.

The singer was at the forefront of a movement that made Lebanese music hugely popular in the region.

Often referred to as the "voice of Lebanon", Mr Safi was one of the big names in what was seen as a golden age of Arab music.

Since his death was announced, many have paid tribute to what they describe as a musical legend.

Mr Safi was with his son when he was taken ill on Friday, and later died in hospital.
