It seems likely that another Wilbury is gone. 

 

RIP Tom Petty.

It is official. Tom Petty is dead at age 66. Damn…just…damn.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

It so hard to believe. I just saw him a few months ago. 66 is too damn young.

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

Can buy Joe love!

It’s officially unofficial now. The LAPD cannot confirm he is dead.

Reports are that he’s on life support now but unexpected to last the day.

I thought they took him off because he was brain dead and then he wouldn’t die?

^It’s all been very vague. A chaplain was in earlier visiting the family apparently. They might be waiting for everyone to come down and get to the hospital before they let him go?

What a weird circumstance this is but it is sad. I love Tom Petty.

edit: i used the phone app on my tiny phone and didn’t read the above.

Apparently media leapt to the wrong conclusion, but he’s still very ill.

The LAPD announced it but it wasn’t true. These types of announcements should be left to the hospital or the family. 

Sadly I would say that it is just a matter of time at this point.

His manager’s statement has been issued on behalf of his family, @Elementary Penguin.

NY Daily News is now reporting the statement, Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, CNN…

It is the confirmation statement, unfortunately.

I’m at a loss for words right now after finding this out. Stunned and saddened is how I feel at the moment.

Thanks for all the music and hope that George and Roy greeted you with open arms when you reached the end of the line. paul-mccartney-thumb_gifa-hard-days-night-paul-10
