Tom Petty was a great one for so long. He just finished a nationwide tour, and planned to release a new album. Rest in peace.

Re: Tom Petty RIP

I'm not so sure.

There were initial reports that he died but I was just watching the local news and they're saying he's in ICU following a major heart attack.

Yup
Awful news - But the news out of Las Vegas is more tragic. 59 dead and over 400 wounded. 

This world has some crazy damn people in it

May God bless Tom, his family and all the victims of Las Vegas

It's too bad that the death of Tom Petty is rightly over showered by the tragic actions of a deranged  person!! Nothing can take away the greatness of Tom!! RIP my friend we shall all meet again at the right time

Re: Tom Petty RIP

He is still alive. Not for long. Until then, he hasn`t passed yet. CBS acted too soon.

From what I have researched ( a lot)  he remains alive and his family has a do not resuscitate order in place but is not expected to live thru the night, this I do not understand unless he is in a coma or has lost all brain functions why not resuscitate him? more updates are needed to clarify as a whole lot of people are confused including me.

Without going into detail, my father passed away on March 17 of this year. Dadhad a "DNR Order" put in his personal care directives, and it was his choice ... no one else's. I would expect Mr. Petty had something similar in place, as I don't believe a family member can make that decision, unless they were granted legal rights by the patient beforehand. The laws might be different in the US, but that's how it works in Canada at the moment.

Sorry to hear that. My father passed away on March 17th too. In 1984.
