Tom Petty has died at age 66. He was stricken at home, found unconscious and not breathing, and taken by ambulance to the hospital. They pronounced him dead. He would have turned 67 in 18 more days.
One of my favorite modern musicians. I liked everything he sang with the Traveling Wilburys, and of course his own songs. He sold more than 80million records and was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Remember Tom: He began singing in 1970, the year my Z was made.
Some of his bigger hits:
