pbasspecial Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 That's why I was confused. Reports said he died, then later ones are backtracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blisters on my fingers Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 What a loss, an all around good guy, fought for artists rights, had his own share of demons to deal with - and he did. 40 years of touring finished last week and then he could have spent more time with his granddaughter so many great songs so many of them celebrating true human spirit and defiance against the stuff life chucks at us all https://youtu.be/JMzW42zZVN0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 CBS jumped the gun, not surprising as news organisations mainly get their 'news' from twitter bulletins these days. Not dead, but not likely to live either, very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beely Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 First saw Tom Petty many decades ago, opening for Nils Lofgren at The Edinburgh Playhouse. Loved his music ever since. Absolutely devastated by this. Our band set features several of his songs. RIP Tom, you were a massive inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I tried to get my mate to come with me to see him at Hyde Park (my mate was actually a bigger fan than me) but in the end we didn't go so now I'll never get the chance. Always seemed a good guy, very enjoyable documentary they showed years ago about him. Great songwriter and performer. Sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
