Officer Tony Im said Monday that the LAPD did not respond to any incident involving the rocker. CBS has since amended its story, and the trade Variety also retracted its obituary, which cited an unnamed source confirming Petty's death.
I was a big Tom Petty fan. Listen to Her Heart was my favorite song. Not to mention one of the few songs I can actually play on the guitar. We were the same age. RIP. Too young to go.
I’m guessing that the media waited a brief amount of time after word got out about coming off life support, then they went to press assuming death came quickly. That’s not always the case, though.
Then again, sloppy reporting is the norm, and we are still short one more amazing musician.
