He's too young to leave us....
Read a story not all that long ago that he started a herion habit in his 60s. I was lucky enough to see him twice, great showman and great shows.
Peace

Edited: I am reading that he has been pulled from life support. Oh no.

Edit: Fuck Rolling Stone. Tom hadn't passed when they tweeted this. Seriously. If they can't get this right, fuck them.

But there is a note above that that says: "This article is experiencing high levels of activity because it is about a person who has recently died. The initial news reports, such as the circumstances of the person's death and surrounding events, may be unreliable, and the risk of misinformation is unusually high. The last updates to this article may not reflect the most current information."
LOVED his stuff.

Tom Petty, the American rocker who fronted one of the countrys longest-running, most successful bands, is fighting for his life, according to reports.
TMZ first reported the news Monday that he was found unconscious in full cardiac arrest at his Malibu home Sunday. CBS News later reported his death, which could not be independently confirmed. A representative for Petty did not immediately return The Washington Posts inquiry.
A CBS Twitter account attributed the report of Pettys death to the Los Angeles Police Department; the tweet has since been deleted.
The LAPD has no information about the passing of singer Tom Petty. Initial information was inadvertantly [sic] provided to some media sources, the police department posted on Twitter. However, the LAPD has no investigative role in this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience in this reporting.

(23,337 posts)right now talking about his heart attack and as far as they know, he isn't dead but isn't expected to recover. That's something, I guess.
