Tom Petty dead: Singer dies aged 66 after cardiac arrest - reports Tom Petty has died after suffering a cardiac arrest, according to CBS News. The singer, aged 66, was rushed to hospital unconscious and pulled off life support after showing no brain activity. The iconic artist suffered a full cardiac arrest and was found unconscious and not breathing in his Malibu home Sunday night, TMZ reported. Petty was born in Gainesville, FL, on Oct. 20, 1950, into a rough childhood. He lived in poverty with an abusive, alcoholic father. An encounter with Elvis Presley in the '50s saw him gain an interest in rock music. Aged 17, he dropped out of school to play in a band - Mudcrutch. www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/tom-petty-dead-dies-death-latest-cause-age-life-career-music-heartbreakers-a7979696.html |

Nope not sure just linked what was written.... But i do note the article has been ammended "Yet later tweets from CBS and the LAPD claim that the department has “no information about the passing of singer Tom Petty” and any information has been “inadvertently provided”, with both apologisng. This article will be updated as soon as we have further information." |

I did see on FB he'd been hospitalised, then a little later that he'd gone. Then a little later CBS had jumped the gun. To quote Niki Lauda on hearing the priest giving him his last rites
Fark off, I'm not dead yet.

Last rites, Naff that mate, you're about to pop your clogs, along comes a geezer in a frock who wants to drag you to Jesus when you've been with the devil all your life .Bad Move, last thing you want then is a new enemy your old mate The Devil.
Better the Devil you know than the one you don't.

Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.
Tom Petty.

Always wished other famous musicans ( i mean real ones) had taken a cue from the Travelling Wilburys and done something similar and write orginal material and put a record out Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Gerry Rafferty might have been a good combo |

As George Harrison told it, they were Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and George. Recording in Dylan's Malibu studio. George had been round to Tom's house, and left his guitar there. He went back for it the next day, and asked Tom if he was interested.

Personally I would have preferred if Rory G and Gary Moore had got an album together, gibson vs fender? |
