Yeh it seems it's true now.
So many different story's came out but I believe it's true.
So sad.

[Greeny]

Awful news.

I've spent a lot of time with his music over the years, and I really liked him as an artist and (from what I saw) as a person.

I also read his autobiography a few years ago - can heartily recommend it.

He's gone too soon, but he didn't do bad, did he: not many people play with the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, The Big 'O', Jeff Lynne, and Stevie Nicks.

'Last Dance with Mary Jane' remains a special favourite of mine.

Rest easy, and thanks for the great music.

Real shocker this one, not great how the media were reporting his death prematurely either, a couple of early rumours of his death had spread about like wildfire.


Agree with Greeny, Last Dance with Mary Jane is probably my favourite too!

RIP Tom Petty!

How about a Tom Petty mini-fest to pay tribute?

Any Tom Petty covers posted between now and Tuesday, October 17th, 2017 will qualify. However, I think we need at least four songs to make it worthwhile. Hopefully, we'll get more than that. When I see that at least four Tom Petty covers have been posted, I'll make a jukebox and add them to it, as well as any other Tom Petty covers posted before the 17th.

So start working on your Tom Petty covers and let's make a great Songcrafters tribute to Tom Petty.
