That’s really sad news. His super bowl show a few years ago was great. So many anthems

what a horrible day.
i love a fair share of tom petty music and havent really talked about him much on DiS I dont think. Free Fallin is one of the first songs I can remember shouting at the top of my lungs with the whole family. so many belters.
I still maintain Wildflowers is a masterpiece.
Time to Move On seems appropriate:
Crawling Back to You is his most beautiful song

Grown to really love some of his stuff in the last couple of years. How sad 
Full Moon Fever was a regular album on in my house while I was growing up. This is sad news.
Saw him at hyde park this year with Stevie Nicks and he still had it. RIP

I had a ticket for Goldfrapp at Somerset House already booked. I was thinking of leaving it for Tom Petty. I didn’t. I’ll regret it for ages.

Apparently reports of his death were premature? Though he is critically ill:
Extremely sad. Major Petty fan, first concert I ever saw was Tom and the Heartbreakers at the New Haven Coliseum on the Dogs With Wings Tour. Jayhawks opened, great show. “Wildflowers” Top 5 albums of the 90’s imo. Great artist, great performer will be sorely missed.

He was just great, wasn’t he? A true bard has been lost.
