Tom Petty died Monday morning after life support was terminated, reports TMZ. The singer was found unconscious Sunday night after a massive cardiac arrest. Paramedics were able to restore a pulse, says TMZ, but his family accepted the inevitability of the singers death, and support was terminated this morning.
The Rock and Roller was known for his rhythmic Florida style. He was famous as early at 19. He transplanted himself to Southern California, where he was known for songs that celebrated Southern California living, such as "Free Falling."

“I mean, who thought we’d still have Keith Richards at 73?”
The only thing I can think of is G-d has a sense of humor.

Lemmy showed his ass shortly before his death. When Phil Taylor died, he said, “Why couldn’t it have been George W. Bush?” That much hate seven years after he’d left office? Too bad Lemmy didn’t get to know a Trump presidency.
I also had the impression that Benmont Tench was the biggest indulger in that group.
I would be surprised - but not shocked - if this had anything to do with drugs. After the lesser known Righteous Brother OD’ed at like 63, I won’t ever be shocked.
I’ll be playing “You Got Lucky” and “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” quite a bit tonight. RIP Tom.........so sad
I was working at the Westside Pavillion when the
Free Falling video was filmed. It was great to hear
the song all day. Love that song. RIP!
Keith’s explanation is that because he was Keef, everything he took was pharmaceutical grade. Except for heroin which did almost get him.
Dylan can go back to wherever he wants, but he has received Jesus and is going to Heaven. I suppose if he went back to Jewish law, as so many Jews do, he might not have been much help to Petty but I still hope Petty received Jesus.
Yes it is Cooper. Apparently you’ve never checked out Salamanders page...
Amen
RIP
But Del Shannon was SO MUCH better!

Does anyone on this web site think that 73/74 is a “ripe old age”? I don’t. So maybe he’s outlived some of his peers. Betcha he won’t live to 80.
I love that........don’t even have to open it. I KNOW what it is..........WOW!
RIP

Jerry Lee Lewis, maybe?
