This one hurts. He and John Wetton were two all my all time favorite classic rock frontmen. RIP

Thank you for the music Tom.

That is a bummer. One of the few artists that both the wife and I enjoy together.

I listened to Full moon Fever - CD - in my car - on and off all summer. So glad I saw him in concert, when I did. Place was packed. Outdoors show. He opened with American Girl. Song finished. Stage went completely black except for the Amp lights. The cheering was absolutely deafening. I was 20 rows back. I was shocked by the sudden vibe of how magical he/it all was. In the 70's, a true American rocker. In the 80's, perfect for MTV in the 90's, a classic entertainer. Next 17 years - a concert STILL not to be missed. I hope I die at 66 - lol - Malibu - how wonderful ! His funeral will be packed with stars - all smiling. A humble guy. I'll always remember him as that Time Traveler guy - in " You got Lucky, when I found you " video. That was him !

Such a tragic loss. Wildflowers is one of those desert island albums for me.

Not a big fan, but I enjoyed the hits.
I hope he pulls through. He's had a long great career no matter what.

Talk about confusing, most the reports are that he's passed but some are saying that's not true, yet.

I just saw on the news that technically he's still alive but he has no brain activity and his family has a DNR rule in place.

I'm totally shocked!
His music is pure blue collar American rock. Honest, down to earth and memorable. I'm thankful he left us a lot of great music.
Sorry for the multiple edits... I'm having a hard time wording how I feel about this.

He was taken off life-support, causing a lot of assumptions that he died instantly...he did not. However, he shows no brain activity and is not expected to make it through the night.

My heart goes to his family. I went through DNR phase with a loved one recently and it is always horrific experience, no matter how much time one has had to prepare for the inevitable...

Sadly yes
I went for the first Tom Petty album i could find which is Wildflowers so that will be getting some playing time in the car today
prayers go to his family
I bet Roy Orbison and George Harrison are waiting for him to jam in the afterlife.

Dude is one of my heroes. Used to cover a multiplicity of his work in my gigging days. To some, the face of rock n roll was Elvis. To me, it was Tom Petty. RIP.

When I was a kid I thought the video for "You Got Lucky" was so cool. Reminded me of Mad Max.
