Damn, today sucks. RIP to a legend.

 

[El-Suave]

I never got to see him live. What an unmistakeable voice. R.I.P..

 

[Timeaisis]

RIP. What a great musician, just saw him in May, he seemed great.

What a sad loss, sending thoughts to his family and friends.

 

[Volcane]

Sad news RIP.

 

[IronRinn]

RIP. Dude was an incredible musician.

 

[eddie4]

RIP

 

[RecRoulette]

Amazing performer and musician, but that goes without saying.

He was also hilarious on King of the Hill.

RIP

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Shit no.

RIP to a Legend.

 

[Strimei]

Damn it.

Tom Petty was one of the first "adult" musicians I ever liked as a really little kid (the others being the band the Cars and Peter Gabriel). I loved his music (with the exception of Don't Come Around Here No More as that music video scared the HELL out of me as a kid).

Rest in peace, Tom.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

RIP

He's learning to fly with wings now.

 

[Conor_Fool]

Holding back tears at work.

I've been listening to him and the heartbreakers since preschool and before. Fuck.

 

[Whizkid7]

THIS MAKES ME SO FUCKING UPSET OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOOO

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was the first band I ever saw live. My entire family grew up with their music. My father and I based our entire musical learning on Tom Petty songs. He's going to be absolutely crushed. I'm ready to weep. Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

[Natiko]

Damn, that sucks. RIP. You were an amazing musician.

 

[Matsukaze]

One of many I never got to see live. :/

R.I.P.

 

[GitarooMan]

This is really tough. I just saw him live again this summer and he was great. I'm a huge fan of his music. It's just..wow...what a legend.

 

[Travo]

Aw shit, this one hurts.

 

[TheLetdown]

My SO got to see him on his return to Gainesville show. She saw it for free, no less. The Strokes opened. Stevie Nicks came out. Gainesville gave him the key to the city. He played a forever long set.

I had to work that night. Never had the chance to see him.

 

[MutFox]

Saw him live at an outdoor festival almost 10 years ago.
One of the best concerts I've been to.

 

[Morgan Blackhand]

RIP

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

OH GODDAMN IT ALL

 

[Omadahl]

I saw him a few years ago and he absolutely killed it. The guy played for nearly three hours without a break and looked like he just loves life. This is going to be a tough one on my parents too. Shit day for a lot of people.

 

[EloKa]

Free Fallin was my first self-taught guitar song.. sad to see him go

Via CBS
In December, Petty told Rolling Stone that he thought this would be the group's last tour together. He said, "It's very likely we'll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don't think so. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was thinking this might be the last big one. We're all on the backside of our sixties. I have a granddaughter now I'd like to see as much as I can. I don't want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months. With a little kid, that's a lot of time."

=(

 

[backflip10019]

Ugh, seriously? RIP to one of the greatest.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]
