Many of us were deeply saddened by the passing of rock legend Tom Petty. Many like me, have fond memories of the talented performer who always gave of his best. Born on the 20th of October 1950 , he suffered a cardiac arrest in his Malibu home and was rushed to Santa Monica hospital where he was put on life support but was taken off shortly after.
Singer, songwriter, producer an all round nice guy. He had a long career which began in the 70's. Elvis Presley and later the Beatles had an early influence on him. Well known for his band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers he later joined with the Travelling Wilbury's and from there to a solo career. He sold over 80 million albums and in 2002 was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. R.I.P. Tom, You will be missed.
