He died at 11:30 p.m., surrounded by family, friends and his bandmates.

 

A real Heartbreaker...

Just a few months back I finished reading his autobiography, written by Warren Zanes. A good read, which gives insight into his ongoing relationship with the Heartbreakers and his rough relationship with his father. Growing up in Gainesville, Florida, he started out as a bass player and singer at 14. Interesting that he played bass for the Traveling Wilburys. Only two of the Wilburys are left now, Jeff (from ELO) and Bob Dylan. Roy Orbison died when they were still recording. I always liked Tom's music and it brings back a special memory for me. When I was getting back into shape after my two heart attacks in my mid-40s, I walked five miles daily, listening to Tom's greatest hits. RIP Tom Petty, you were a special artist.
