    Still really unclear what the actual situation is. 

    It's been quite amazing watching this spread over the net and social media this evening. 

    Still it does sound like it's serious, but no official
    confirmation yet.

    Exceptional character, so much of an icon that for me like a parent when it comes to music. We've all got to do it someday - hope he passed away smoothly, RIP!

    The formal announcement of this news could have been handled better.

    Confirmed by his management:

    On behalf of the Tom Petty family we are devastated to announce the untimely death of our father, husband, brother, leader and friend Tom Petty. 

    He suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu in the early hours of this morning and was taken to UCLA Medical Center but could not be revived. 

    He died peacefully at 8:40pm PST surrounded by family, his bandmates and friends.

    What awful news this morning. Tom Petty with us no more.

    Saw him a few times live back in the 1980's. Loved his music.

    [mods - thanks]

    Never got to see him live, ans Ive woken up this morning incredibly sad and hurt by his death. Wonderful artist, whom I discovered very late in the day.

    Thanks for some great inspiration Tom.

    looks like a Tom Petty day at work to day - I know you can listen to a host of his excellent albums but his greatest hit collection is just superb - Not a poor track amongst them and great for the car, work etc

    Certainly a man who was song first - The guitar is a fundamental part of the sound and texture of TP but you don't need a solo to make the song work - Catchy riffs and use the guitar to add colour to the song, but the guitar doesn't own the song - Great blend of pop/rock

    To be honest I've never really played enough Travelling Wilbury's but liked most things I've heard, so obviously need to buy a couple of albums - maybe today will be that day

    Great shame. He certainly penned some classics.

  • His was the first song I cared enough about to learn to play all the way through. It's not good, but it's a special memory

    Listen to Learning To Fly by Legionreturns #np on #SoundCloud
