RIP Tom Petty
« on: October 03, 2017, 06:42:43 AM »
Just read he's passed away from cardiac arrest at 66. Sad news for the music industry with another legend gone.
Thanks for the music Tom, RIP.

Not only a sad loss for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but that's 3 of the original Traveling Wilburys gone now

hasn't actually passed away as yet...  life support has been removed, with a 'no resuscitation order' in place...

very sad, either way...

well, based on multiple american news and radio sources, they have retracted the 'death' news story and are reporting he is still alive...

also, it appears as though ch9 have changed their tune (as at 8:13am):

http://www.9news.com.au/entertainment/2017/10/03/06/52/rock-icon-petty-has-heart-attack



believe what you will.  here's hoping he pulls through...  media ghouls showing that it's more important to them to be first, and accuracy comes later...

as i said, sad either way...

tom's daughter just posted her thoughts on the media (particularly rolling stone magazine) on her instagram page (dadlivesmatteronelove is her handle):

dadlivesmatteronelove @rollingstone my dad is not dead yet but your ****ing magazine is ??????your slim😵has been pieces of tabloid dog Shit. You put the worst artists on your covers do zero research. How dare you report that my father has died just to get press because your articles and photos are so dated. I will ****ing Shit down your throat and your family's . Try not being a trump vibe. This is my father not a celebrity. An artist and human being. **** u

I went to the Knebworth Festival in the UK in 1978 as a callow youth, and a then (now embarrassed ex-) fan of Genesis, not knowing the works of Tom Petty at the time. After 39 years, his set is the one from that festival that sticks in my mind. As time passes by, you encounter more and more passings of musical icons that have featured in your life with varying degrees of feelings of loss. I never owned one of Tom's records (in retrospect, I don't know why) but this loss seems to be one of the more painful. Nearly as heartbreaking as the passing of John Peel for me (Brit music fans will know what I mean). RIP Tom
