Wow Just coming throught that Tom Petty has died aged 66 after a Cardiac Arrest

Noooo

Awww that's a shame, fine American rocker RIP

Just read this. Another great artist leaves us. That's 3/5's of the travelling willburys gone. RIP

Ahh I'm gutted about this, he's one of my dad's favourite artists. My liking of him is from hearing my dad play so much of his music. Such a shame.

Another proper musician gone, soon all we will be left with is Bieber. RIP Tom.

Still fighting for his life

Officially gone now

RIP another true rock artist gone

The world has certainly become a poorer place with the loss of Tom Petty a true icon inducted into America's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 & sold over 80 million records worldwide.
I've been listening to his songs since I was a young pup with 'Free Fallin' being one of my favourite songs,so much so when I shuffle of the mortal coil myself I've requested it as one of 3 of my funeral songs (I don't want to sound morbid).
Also when I used to box about 20 years ago I used 'I Won't Back Down' a few times as my ring entrance music (thanks for the great memories) & it does put a smile on my face when I hear boxers,UFC & other fighters use it too (as they also have great taste).

A loss of a great man whose memory will long live on the great contribution he made to the music industry & whilst life can be short great songs like many Tom Petty sang can last an eternity.RIP Tom.
