What does TMZ stand for? The made up zone?

Kutter · 2 Oct 2017 at 22:59

erm they said they took him off life support. meaning he was functioning by himself not dead... phew

Tom Petty is one of the greats, sad to hear of the heart attack but great that he's not dead. You could say he has a heart with a mind of it's own.

Fingers crossed they got it wrong and he makes a full recovery

Maybe panic buying all that Tom Petty memorabilia on ebay was a tad hasty...

Ban for unconfirmed death announcement?

Not really, it was reported in a few news sources that he had died earlier this evening.

Now confirmed on BBC.

66 isn't much of an age.

Thanks for the music.

Only 2 Wilburys left now - Bob Dylan and the brilliant Jeff Lynne.

Not the best news to start the day with. A bit gutted about this.

Sad times

First became "aware" of him at Live Aid.

novaenough · 3 Oct 2017 at 08:24

He's made some great music over the years, sad to hear of his passing.

Where does it say he had a heart attack?

Heard about this last night, very sad

.
Have been a fan since I listened to my dad playing The Travelling Wilburys when I was a kid. I got to see him at the Isle of Wight festival a few years ago, and it was a great evening

.
RIP

RIP Tom Petty.

You had the Last Dance with Mary Jane and reached The End of the Line.
Now it's "Into the Great Wide Open"

Bummer. I had a phase when I was younger.
Talented guy.
