from LAPD via twitter CBS news
Tom Petty, the rocker best known as the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is clinging to life in a Los Angeles hospital, according to TMZ. An earlier report which confirmed the singer's death, and which CBS reported, has since been clarified. CBS News reported information obtained officially from the LAPD about Tom Petty. The LAPD later said it was not in a position to confirm information about the singer and that "initial information was inadvertently provided to some media sources." In that statement, the LAPD also apologized for "any inconvenience in this reporting."

I guess that answers the question of whether he has died or not.
It's been a bad day. Several bad accidents/news in racing today too.

Hard to imagine any Petty fan out there not having seen the tremendous 2007 4-hour documentary about Tom and the Heartbreakers, but if you haven't, it's available streaming on Netflix. I will be watching it again this weekend.

For me it was Breakdown. But, yeah, a great loss.

So many great songs to choose from. I'd probably pick Mary Jane. Saw him at the Akron Rubber Bowl guessing 1986-1987 with Dylan and the Dead. Last time I saw him was 5-6 years ago. Steve Winwood opened. So many good times. A true Hall Of Famer that the world of rock will miss. And I know i will miss. Thanks Tom. You always rocked the house.

So, so sad for fans and music lovers everywhere.
Never a good time to die but I actually thought Petty was older, which makes my pain more pronounced.
RIP to a true legend, Tom Petty.

Saw him in Colorado in the late 80's, they played for about 3 hrs, after the concert I realized that i knew the words to every song the played. Great artist!

I am partial to one of his solo albums, Full Moon Fever. It features the singles I Won't Back Down, Free Fallin' and Runnin' Down a Dream.

I saw him at the Nassau Coliseum way back when, I have to say one of the best concerts I've ever been to. R.I.P. Tom, you will be missed.

Went to Chive fest Dallas two years ago, Jake Owen (whom I'd never heard of at the time) performed a few Petty songs that night. It was a pleasant surprise. Even tho Petty had cut way back on performances and new work, I'll really miss him.
