Ugh not him, man!!  Tom Petty is one of the classics. He's always been underrated in my opinion.  This sucks. 

[That J 12,166]

My personal fave of all his tremendous songs. It's sad but fitting.

Such a huge loss to the world of rock and roll. Petty was a dynamic performer, singer songwriter for decades. He'd just wrapped a huge tour. SO many great songs. If you don't know him, try the greatest hits...he was amazing. What a bad time in the air today.

I'm a mess. I was already very upset with what has happened in Vegas but then I heard this and had a utter breakdown. He was one of our fav musicians, such talent. I'm speechless. Been to so many of his shows and they were always amazing. All the tears.
