Damn. He was one of a kind who stood the rest of time.

Damn, first concert I ever went to. Great musician, RIP.

Jesus, brutal day week, Heff, Vegas, and now Petty. Stop the madness.

 

[BGinGA]

Wow. Totally unexpected. An music icon, will be missed.

 

[derekdd23]

Very sad, one of my favorites.

 

[mike32]

I wish this was fake news. Been a fan since my early teens. Bummer!

 

[inca911]

Damn. Just damn. I was really bummed to miss his last show. It's very true that today is always the best day to do what you want to do....

 

[justsomedude]

Man... I wanted to get to his show at Red Rocks this past spring but couldn't make it work with my schedule. This is just a crummy Monday.

Damn, first concert I ever went to. Great musician, RIP.

Me too, was a great show, from what I remember of it! We were drinking pretty hard before hand, and I was only 16 at the time!

Saw that he was removed from life support but still no official announcemet yet, I want to use my one-time

Just saw him in April for the 6th time, my absolute favorite.

May this is just a totally freakin' bad day.

 

[k9dr]

I was lucky enough to see a show on his last tour stop in Tampa this May

This is sad news. One of the better musicians. Will be missed.

One of the greats for sure.

Free Fallin is one of my top ten.

Just saw him in "The Postman" last night.

[Chicken Rob]

Jesus, brutal day week, Heff, Vegas, and now Petty. Stop the madness.

You forgot Monte Hall.

 

[johnnycnote]

Had a girl in Albany during the summer of 81 and I remember making the 3 hr trip from McGuire AFB listening to the Hard Promises cassette over and over. Yeah...

 

[Trihonda]

Damn... loved Tom Petty..

This is such heart breaking news...

 

[Jeff]

Hef, Hall and Petty. It should be over for a while. Don't they always come in a threes?

 

[ovo]

Yeah, I think he's still in hospital.

 

[pedrofisk]

Now there are reports he's not dead yet. Even if not I can't imagine he could recover. I recommend the moderately recent Heartbreaker's documentary. Not as big budget as the Eagles doc but very good for fans.

 

[krafticus]

Some reports are saying that they can’t confirm that it is even Petty in the hospital

 

[ruskba]

he's actually not dead yet.

 

[gopherblue]

Oh FFS, don't do me like that. Stop draggin' my heart around.

This is a heartbreaker.

 

[Milo013]

Reports say "not dead" but not likely to recover. Make of that what you will. Loved that little scene in Postman. "I used to be . . ."
