[Beach Hut]

RIP

Superb artist

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Saw him with Nils Lofgren at the .dome in the 70s - one of the greatesy gigs I have ever seen. A true legend and will be greatly missed by a shedload of people, including me. RIP but give them a rocking good time up there with George and Roy.

AP has changed story.

LAPD mistake, apparently.

Sad news and another one gone far too early.

1st saw him at the Brighton Centre years ago.

RIP

I was there. The 'Long after dark' tour. Phenomenal!

Damn the torpedoes

One of the truly great rock albums.

i also got to see him his year at a Hyde Park, loved this guy and his music since i was just a spotty 17 year old, Christ yet another hero gone, 66! shit man that's nothing and all gettin too bloody close for comfort.

Don't back down Tom.

 

[Binney on acid]

I saw him a couple of times at The Dome, once at the centre and once at Hammersmith Odeon. Phenomenal talent. I saw him with the heartbreakers at Wembley Arena, when they were Dylan's backing band. One of those 'Kennedy moments'. This is indeed tragic news.

Awful news

Just love this - Tom Petty with Bo Diddley doing Mona.

Saw him at Hyde Park in the summer and he was superb. RIP

Me too. I also saw him supporting Nils Lofgren at the Dome in 1977 at the very start of his career. Such sad news.

There's been nothing official yet but if prior reports of no brain activity & DNR are accurate & life support removed then only a matter of time before automatic body function stops.

 

[catfish]

What utterly crap news. RIP.
