Default Tom Petty

I just heard this and couldn't believe it. One of the big news networks and Rolling Stone just announced minutes ago he has passed away after being taken off life support. He was found unconscious in full cardiac arrest. Sad... R.I.P. Tom. Go play for God.

Just saw him a month or two ago in concert.
This kind of blows me away.
RIP

Tommy Petty definitely had a signature sound. Great band, too...apparently still clinging to life...as the earlier reports of his death were unsubstantiated.

Quote:
A CBS Twitter account attributed the report of Petty’s death to the Los Angeles Police Department; the tweet has since been deleted.
“The LAPD has no information about the passing of singer Tom Petty. Initial information was inadvertantly [sic] provided to some media sources,” the police department posted on Twitter. “However, the LAPD has no investigative role in this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience in this reporting.”
TMZ followed up with a post that Petty was “still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer’s death is inaccurate.”

What a HUGE loss for the music world. Great writer of some of the most popular/reconizable songs in the world. I used to sing 2 or 3 of his songs a night every Friday & Saturday for many years. I am just bummed. He just played in Napa, CA at the Bottle Rock Music Festival this May. Ya just never know..D

Bruce, thanks for posting the update. I just went to check headlines and saw that a lot of "organizations" including LAPD say they can't confirm his passing. Now I feel like I posted it prematurely. Apologies to everyone. His prognosis doesn't look good. As Bruce posted, reports are now saying that he's "clinging to Life".

Clinging to life, is still not good. Thank for posting, Mark! We can only hope for the best.

Any time you are 'found' in cardiac arrest the outcome is usually not good at all even if you survive. Hopefully a miracle happens in this case. He is one great performer and song writer.
