Damn! I love Tom Petty. It's rare that I actually like every song on an artist's album, but Tom Petty was an exception. I have two or three of his albums. Sounds like the world lost a great, GREAT singer.

Damn. I might have to play an all-Petty set next Wednesday.

Best looking man in America.

Title should be updated to DEAD status.

He's been pulled off of life support due to no brain activity.

R.I.P.

Did he really die? There seems to be conflicting reports.

I read that this might have been his last big tour so he could spend more time with his grandkid(s?). RIP Tom.

I listened to Full Moon Fever on my Walkman in high school soooo many times. Then I finally got to see him (with Stevie Nicks) at Clark County amphitheater in Washington several years ago. Fantastic show.

Jesus this SUCKS. I remember when "Damm the torpedoes" came out, everyone was simply blown away by the sound, the quality of the songs. I always wished AOR radio would delve deeper into that album, so many gem's remain unknown specially "Even the losers". RIP Tom, for sure you rocked our world..

 

[vi edit]

Died from a broken heart.

Died from a broken heart.

Literally. Jesus what a truly horrible day. Right in the middle of the "Disco boom" Tom was a beacon of light that rock+roll was far from dead, fuc* I'm just so depressed right now, I turn 61 in 2 weeks, I wonder when my #'s up.

 

[Mayne]

Another amazing artist gone way too soon.

 

[Boris Morozov]

Very sad.

Latest I can see is that he is still alive but off life support, so possibly only a short matter of time. A great singer and songwriter will have left us.
