Another great is gone but lives forever in legend.

STOP PRESS: Police have now retracted their release that he is dead. He is in hospital on life support, hopefully Tom will recover.

I saw a couple places didn't report his death, but the majority have, so I went with it

Blame LAPD.

Well it's not the first time they've stuffed up massively. Won't be the last, I reckon either

[AllTerr]

Ok now it's confirmed. A sad day made even sadder. I grew up near his hometown, so to say he's had an impact on my life is an understatement.

I feared he wouldn't recover, RIP Tom.

I guess now he really is free falling.
Another legend gone

Sad to hear but i will not stop listening to his music.

I always preferred him in ''The Travelling Wilburys'' [bigsmile1] Tom Petty's involvement came by chance, as Harrison had left his guitar at Petty's house, and the invitation for Petty to join the session was made when Harrison went to retrieve it......the rest is history

Tom Petty...awesome...as was every member of the Wilburys, what a great 'one off' group....so much talent. Diminishing drastically in living members now though, miss them all.
