Tom Petty died

[Chucktshoes]

With the other events going on this will probably get overshadowed, but a legend died today.

Tom Petty brought me no small amount of joy at different times in my life.  

I know I wore out at least two copies of Full Moon Fever in high school.

Man, he'll be missed.

He will be missed. End of the line! 

Travel well sir!

Tom Petty and the Hef. Rough weekend. I was gone at a wedding and woke up this morning to a lot of bad news.

That sucks.

Looks like he has not died yet but it shouldn't be to long.  This was 10 mins ago.

 

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live much longer ... but at this time, he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate.

Several outlets have confirmed the death a few hours ago. Several other outlets are not confirming the death until Petty's camp publicly announces it.

I have heard the name but admit I cannot specifically pinpoint any of his songs. And I generally like music from the time period!

In light of everything else today, I’m firing up that exact album on Apple Music. Seems like a positive thing to do.

Ok. I recognize this.

KZ106, I don’t miss you (ok, like the music they play on there, just seems like they place the same 50 songs on repeat every single day). My parents had that station on all the time. I don’t miss listening to it even though I like the genre.

I'm going to remain positive and hold out hope until the Petty camp makes an official announcement.

Apparently fake-news thinks he is not quite room-temp - http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2017/10/02/report-tom-petty-taken-off-life-support-massive-cardiac-arrest/

I’ve been a fan since the first time I heard “You got lucky”.

[Raoul]

Doesn't yet seem to be a solid confirmation. I'd hate to see him pass....

[Dustbuster]

Awesome performer, may he find peace..

We lost a great one. He will certainly be missed.

He was an artist that was able to find that sweet spot to appeal to a wide audience. Not too hard, not too soft, catchy enough riffs to make your toe tap, interesting lyrics. His later albums started leaning more towards the Blues genre, which is where my musical tastes started drifting, so Tom's music grew with me.

Plus he was a Florida boy like me. RIP, Tom.
