Sucks that he's gone and he won't release any more music and his family, friends and fans no longer have him around, but Tom Petty lived a long full life with no doubt some tremendous experiences along the way, if only we could all be so lucky. RIP sir.

Since he’s not dead, can we get a thread title change??

They’ve retracted the story he has died. He’s listed as unclear. Though, if he has no brain activity, he’s dead. As far as I'm concerned, he's dead. No brain activity means the rest of the body is a husk at this point. I think he will legally be dead tonight.

One of my all-time favorite Super Bowl halftime performers. And "I Won't Back Down" is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Man, this sucks.

Man this one hurts bad. I got to see Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers twice in concert. Stevie Nicks was a special guest at one of them, and they did “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” together. It was one of my favorite concert moments. I’d hoped to see him again some day. One of my favorite Tom Petty songs:

My all-time favorite and a major personal pick-me up when things have looked to be going south, this hurts. Nothing but love for Petty.

Seems like I'm always in the mood to see him in concert...then read to find out he just left town last week. ☹
Tom was great. Always puts me in a good mood.

This really sucks, man. I love me some Tom Petty. Such a great artist and I'm going to miss him a lot.
RIP

If he was taken off life support it will come within days.

I think they jumped the gun, but so many are bitching about fake news. I wish it was, and though I’m not there, I’m afraid it’s a matter of time now.
I will celebrate his life either way. I loved Tom and am happy I got to see him this past spring in Nashville

I don't like making you guys put up with my morbid life, but after I took my oldest brother off of life support, he passed away less than a day later. I genuinely hope he doesn't linger.

His management have just confirmed to the LA Times. RIP.
Even hanging on that bit longer off life support shows how tough he must have been, tbh.

As someone not intimately familiar with his music, where should I start in his discography?

Associated Press, NBC, several others reporting a spokesperson has announced he has died.
God dammit...

Yeah, it can come quickly. but my sister's father in law was recently taken off life support and they were told it could take anywhere up to a week.

Aw dammit, Tom Petty was awesome, and I don't care what anybody else says, I liked his Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Somebody protect, Elton John, Alice Cooper, and Sir Paul.
