glorybebe Posted October 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The “Free Fallin’” singer, 66, was reportedly found unconscious and not breathing in his Malibu home, and was subsequently taken to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, where he "had no brain activity." https://www.google.ca/amp/www.nydailynews.com/amp/entertainment/music/tom-petty-critical-condition-cardiac-arrest-article-1.3536756 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted October 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Oh no, no, no, no, no...I'm very upset about this. Damn, he was only a couple of years older than I am. Suddenly I feel very old and very depressed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sees Posted October 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Oh that's sad. I didn't follow his music but I liked him as being part of the Travelling Wilburys. 66 is not really old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted October 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I heard about a minute ago this was fake news that has been picked up in the media. We'll soon see how thorough they are at vetting their sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorybebe Posted October 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2017 While I am incredibly sad, I can't be surprised with his excesses in the past. What I look at is his amazing talent and how much joy he brought to so many. I think he lived his life to the fullest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, when my hubby texted me the news, I checked out some sites on the net. I get the headers of him passing away at the CBS sites, but was frustrated when I didn't find anything on CNN and on the NBC local site. Now, I know why. *shrugs* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted October 3, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Wow! Another part of my youth gone. I remember seeing him in concert. He put on quite a show. Some reports are saying he was taken off life support and has passed away and others say he's still alive. This report was released 3 minutes ago and says his death is confirmed. Not sure this is true. http://www.wtvy.com/content/news/LAPD-clarifies-it-cannot-confirm-Tom-Pettys-death-449124053.html Edited October 3, 2017 by susieice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
