CBS News Retracts Story That Tom Petty is Dead. TMZ Says Petty, 66, May Not Survive the Day(NewTitle
The Santa Monica Observer ^ | October 2, 2017

Posted on 10/02/2017 12:57:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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."

He was 66. I am always amazed when big-time rockers make it even that long. I mean, who thought we’d still have Keith Richards at 73?

I just checked Wikipedia. He was still alive.

Rest in peace, Mr Petty. I will pray for you.

I don’t know if he was a big drug taker.

He was a good friend and collaborator of Del Shannon, my personal favorite.
