UPDATE: We’re told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.
—————————————————–
Source – Tom Petty was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after he was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
EMTs rushed to his Malibu home and were able to get a pulse. He was rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital and our sources say he was put on life support.
Petty’s condition is unknown but was critical from the moment he was found.
Petty, who became famous with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 1978 with “Breakdown,” is 66.
We’ve been in touch with numerous people from Petty’s camp and they are clearly upset but not talking.
If today was a bowl of soup this soup is a massive bowl of bullshit.
“Full Moon Fever” was the first CD I ever bought with my own money. I went to Abbotsford mall and bought it because they didn’t have any tapes. Now I needed to get a CD player and they were $1000.00. I took my life savings at the age of 16 and bought one.
“Full Moon Fever” Cost me $1030.00. It was worth every penny.
“Runnin’ Down A Dream” and “Free Fallin” were gimme’s on the CD. I knew I loved those songs but I didn’t know I LOVED Tom Petty until I heard “Yer So Bad”
Tom Petty Was a poet that always put me at ease. More Rock-a-billy than Rock, Petty’s music was always easy, disarming and really fucking smart.
He (and Nirvana) is solely responsible for pulling my head out of my shitty music loving ass.
Gn=oodnite Tom. And Thank You.
This is all I can muster about #TomPetty (Sorry @ItsDeanBlundell)… https://t.co/O9U3bhO1s9 So much more than "mindless, generic rock".
