A real heartbreaker.....

[Robbi]

RIP Tom Petty.

 

[Nice65]

RIP. We'll be bereft of decent musicians before long. I'm sure there are many up and comings, but this last decade or so has been a bit 'plastic', throwaway, nothing solid about it.

 

[Macaroon]

Oh no, that's a stunner indeed; one of the best, a great guy and a great musician. I'm gobsmacked and sad in equal measure.....................

 

[Robson Valley]

Look to your up-and-comers. Our current crop of standards here is nobody that I need to listen to.
Thank heavens for old Youtube videos.

 

[Laurentius]

Oh gosh yes, gone but never forgotten.

 

[Jared]

He's not dead.

Sounds like not in good shape, but still alive.

 

[Robbi]

Really...........

Really

One of his daughters posted on instagram tearing RollingStone a new one for reporting his death.

how strange

 

[crosslandkelly]

Yes, he's passed. Great guy, great musician.

 

[Jared]

Yeah, seems LAPD jumped the gun and declared him dead, but then retracted and apologised.

Was taken to hospital in the early hours, and died at 8:40PM PST.
