    This is quite a shock. I've never been a huge fan, but this is just terrible news.
    I'm going to stop cleaning, light a j, and put on some Wilburys.

    A great legacy on stage and on record he leaves us with. Not bad for a Florida boy to go to Hollywood and reach the upper level of Harrisons and Dylans as musical mates.

    CBS got confirmation that Petty has passed away from the LAPD. Petty apparently was found unconscious Sunday night.

    There has never been a time where TMZ broke something this big and posted it on their side and have other news outlets cite it, and then later on having it be false. Unless someone can point towards a single case where the opposite happened

    But TMZ is reporting it, it is true

    Surprised by my reaction to this - I've never owned a Tom Petty record, probably haven't listened to him in a decade or so, haven't really even thought about him in ages... and yet I find myself shaken by this. Just took him to always be part of the universe.

    Sincere condolences to the universe.

    Didn't see this one coming at all.

    An important part of my high school years has just passed away.

    RIP, and thanks for the music.

    One of the very best, at least he left with a bang, the Heartbreakers just ended their 40th Anniversary tour last week at the Hollywood Bowl!

    With every passing year the Travelling Wilburys project becomes more and more precious.

    RIP, Tom, you more than earned your place amongst the big boys.

    Yes, but CBS is saying they have confirmed it, which means they have something in addition to TMZ that corroborates it.

    The first time I saw a Tom Petty show it was more than 2 straight hours of me thinking 'oh I forgot how much i love this song', then a moment later out comes another song and once again I'm thinking oh wow yeah I love this one too. Unbelievable catalog of songs that TP created.

    Oh no. I’ve been listening to his music since Damn The Torpedos. This one really hurts. Sending comforting vibes to his family and friends. I really hope it isn’t true.

    Simply one of the great live rock and roll artists ever - he always killed it on stage. An American original.

    Gorts, do what you will.

    ****. Just . . . . ****.
