MeanSeanBean Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Man... This hits me so hard. Just saw him in Van this August. One of my favorite musicians of all time and in my opinion the greatest song writer of our time, And music is my life... I'm beyond devastated.

Probably on YouTube. Runnin Down A Dream? Awesome documentary. Every bit the legend he's been described as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 On top of everything else today, we lose another great musician! Really hope October is going to improve quickly, because it couldn't start out much worse than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rose/Getty Images By Kory Grow 11 minutes ago More News Listen to 'Rolling Stone Music Now' Podcast: Tom Petty on His Future Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks Celebrate Tom Petty at All-Star Tribute Flashback: Hear Hank Williams Jr.'s 'Own Business' With Tom Petty All Stories Tom Petty, the dynamic and iconoclastic frontman who led the band the Heartbreakers, died Monday. He was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest at his Malibu home Sunday night, according to TMZ, and rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. EMTs were able to find a pulse when they found him, but TMZ reported that the hospital found no brain activity when he arrived. A decision was made to pull life support. CBS confirmed Petty's death. He was 66. RELATED Inside Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Last Big Tour Behind the scenes as Petty and his band battle the elements, remember old times and celebrate a 40-year bond Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers recently completed a summer tour last Monday with three nights at the Hollywood Bowl. The trek marked the band's 40th anniversary and found him playing rarely played deep cuts like their first album's opener, "Rockin' Around (With You)," and a selection of Wildflowers cuts. It was intended to be his "last trip around the country." He told Rolling Stone, though, that it wasn't his intention to quit playing. "I need something to do, or I tend to be a nuisance around the house," he said. In the late Seventies, Petty's romanticized tales of rebels, outcasts and refugees started climbing the pop charts. When he sang, his voice was filled with a heartfelt drama that perfectly complemented the Heartbreakers' ragged rock & roll. Songs like "The Waiting," "You Got Lucky," "I Won't Back Down," "Learning to Fly" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" all dominated Billboard's rock chart, and the majority of Petty's albums have been certified either gold or platinum. His most recent release, Hypnotic Eye, debuted at Number One in 2014. Petty, who also recorded as a solo artist and as a member of the Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tom-petty-rock-iconoclast-who-led-the-heartbreakers-dead-at-66-w506651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coho8888 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 What??? I don't know what to day. First the Vegas tragedy and now this. Glad I saw him during the hypnotic eye tour. One of the greatest rockers of all time. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still time Waters plays next week at BC Place ..I doubt we see him with Gilmour again at this point though. Saw Petty at the original Pemberton Festival.

spliced Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 He was a real classic musician, an authentic guy that wasn't overly trendy but still felt like he always fit in. I remember when Last Dance With Marry Jane came out it didn't really go along with the trends which was nice to see him stay true to his sound. I think of him as a Steve Yzerman or Patrice Bergeron of music, a really consistent and quality example of the profession done right. A really fantastic voice too that he used well.

The gent wrote so many beautiful lyrics. But I say let's all celebrate this great man's go-round. Did any musician out there enjoy his job as much(giving us all a life-soundtrack)?! How elated he must've felt, becoming a part of that supergroup, with likely most of his big-time heroes. He did awesome things..& awesome things happened to him as well. Hearty thank you to Mr Tom Petty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
