Tributes are flooding the internet soon after news broke out that legendary reggae musician Johnny Nash passed away at the age of 80 in his house in Texas.

"Culture Club" singer Boy George also paid tribute to the star as someone who had influenced his music immensely.

"R.I.P to the reggae legend Johnny Nash," he tweeted. "One of the artists who made me fall in love with lovers rock and reggae music in the early 70s. So many amazing tunes and a voice like silk. I have never really known a time with reggae music. He was one of the greatest."

SiriusXM host Eric Alper also marked the singer's passing, as did TV presenter and actress Holly Robinson Peete and fellow musician Rex Chapman.
