    This one is particularly harsh for me. I'm a huge fan - this man's music has been my chosen soundtrack my entire life, it seems.

    I'm heartbroken.

    I've had "Southern Accent" stuck in my head for a couple of days, now, for no reason. It feels weird and poignant.

    Damn. This sucks. They say deaths come in threes... Hugh Heffner, Tom Petty, who is next? Lawd please don't take Betty White.

    1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

    When my sister passed 3 months ago I was taking respite in a Stevie Nicks concert and fell asleep to it and when I woke up to a Tom Petty concert was playing so this is particular to me

    His music is like a chill breeze

    Very sad day between the Las Vegas shooting and this passing today

    Charles Bradley, Hugh Hefner and Tom Petty.

    Damn I forgot about him.

    Who?

    I never heard of Charles Bradley

    But anyways I always figure the 3s come from the same silk so Hugh Hefner wasn't a singer

    I'm amazed Iggy Pop is still alive

    With all the rock stars going he seems like the druggiest of them all

    Again I have to agree with the POTUS. The media is losing credibility and this is another low.

    I don’t want Tom Petty to die.

    It seems their news source was TMZ and they all started pushing breaking news alerts out. A really low ebb for reputable news media organizations.

    That was definitely a faux pas on CBS part but for the record I was waiting for CNN to announce it and do a tribute but they never did

    "American Girl" may very well be the best rock 'n roll song ever written. And the entire Wildflowers album is maybe an actual physical part of me - I about wore it out in college, when I was going through some big life changes.

    And just this morning, I remembered watching my 12-year-old daughter at the show last spring, swaying her hands and singing along to "Free Fallin'" as it started to rain. That got me a little choked up THEN. God, I'm glad I took her to that show.
