He’ll be remembered in GTA 6

During a VH1 interview, he was quoted as saying how much he loved Kurt Cobain, and how much he loved his music and art. I always love hearing him say that. He was one of a kind. RIP

So very sad. I’m 61 years old and a life long music fanatic. Out of all the artists we’ve lost throughout those years, I miss Tom Petty the most. Just sucks yo not have him still writing and performing his amazing music. RIP Tom

I saw Petty 12 times in concert amazing performer my all time favorite

Tom Petty was a real heatbreaker. Sorry about his passing. Loved him.

Legendary Rock and Roller.. will never be forgotten... RIP

I was born three weeks before him and followed him most of my life. It is so sad that he suffered with pain. He didn't deserve that. He was a great musician. He brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people.

Tom Petty has a library of killer tunes

Tom Petty loved music and loved living. Wherever there's good tunes, good friends, and good times, Tom lives on.

He Is Definitely One Of The Best ✨👍

Absolute legend!!! I’m so lucky to have been in high school when he was at the very peak of his success!! I will never forget seeing his videos on MTV!! I remember it was like yesterday. RIP of great one!!❤

I left home and traveled coast to coast, and just about everywhere in between, with Tom Petty blasting from my speakers. Tom Petty has been a huge part of my life bc of his music. I miss him, but he left some great gifts behind and I still blast his music from my speakers. Love you brother.

National treasure indeed..

❤ I miss Tom Petty's music. I admired him for standing up to and helping his friend Stevie Nicks. I will forever remember one of my oldest and dearest friends who died at 43, it's hard to believe it's been a decade, everytime I hear Mary Jane's last dance. RIP and sing the light back into your soul Tom Petty. You were a bigger influence than you think.

Been born in Gainesville I know there is no bigger legend in that town. My all time favorite artist!

His voice seemed effortless, it was low but very strong and musical. What a talent. I saw him in concert and he was fantastic along w the Heartbreakers. Unforgettable man.

Too bad he never got to see the GTA VI Trailer 😢

One of a kind. I too saw the Beatles on E Sullivan. A good bit younger than Tom . I'm so happy to be on the planet with Tom . RIP brother.

I saw him 4 times. His live shows were amazing.

Absolutely... ABSOLUTELY agree with you on this....Tom was a national treasure. I was so lucky to have seen him in concert several times and was so saddened at his death. His music is timeless and I will forever miss him. Rest in peace, Tom.... Rest In Peace. ❤️

One of my favourite singers! R.I.P. champ!

I Love you Tom Petty 🙏💯❤️💕

He was truly one of a kind!!!

Tom doesn't have a bad song. I never got to see him in concert. Bummer.

Talented beautiful soul, definitely accomplished his mission here on earth and made the planet that much better for all of us & posterity. ❤

I saw him at Alpine Valley 4 times, then once in Phoenix. He rocked every single show. ❤️

So talented. Rock on in heaven with no pain, dude, and keep running down a dream. Feel the Louisiana rain soaking through your shoes. You will be missed.

One of the greatest, singer/songwriters ever

He will be greatly missed.

Loved his voice. ❤ High school friend of mine got to play with him when he was in Michigan. He’s gone, too. A really great guy.

A huge part of me died when he did. I can still feel those tears. He was my musical father.

How many here can say they’re crazy about Elvis, loved Jesus AND lived in Reseda? I can! Tom was fantastic and will forever be a part of all of us.

I started attending TP and HBs shows in 78, saw them 17 times and once with Dylan over 45 years. His shows were alway a good time especially in the 70s and 80s. I still listen to them almost Daily and I’m 62 now, I was 16 the first time I saw them at Winterland San Francisco. The show is here on YT. RIP Tomas Earl Petty✝️ RIP Howard Norman Epstein ✝️

We All Absolutely Love You. Rip Tom ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ !

I loved Tom Petty and I am so blessed that I got to see him in concert when I was 10 years old ❤❤

My now wife turned me down for a date to see Tom. I often think about how cool it would have been to see him with her...Rest in Peace Tom.

Saw him in 2007 in an outdoor concert in Washington state. One of the greatest showmen to ever grace the stage, incredible.

A true icon indeed. I was a huge fan of his music, and the day he died, I remember I cried my eyes out. He was a good man.

The first tape I bought when I got my license in 1989 was 'Free Fallin'. Drove around for hours blasting it. He was a true musician and is sorely missed.

Certainly this artist is missed. Beautiful music 🎶 🎵

Had read that Don Felder had taught Tom to play the guitar. An excellent job and accomplishment. Always loved his/their music-that of The Traveling Wilburys, Tom’s and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.

Played his music at moms funeral,... She was 96,... She boogied with Tom, she loved his music riding in the car to Dr. appointments over the years... Thanks to Tom and his band,... She smiled!!!🤗❤

Gta 6 🙏🔥

Love Tom Petty, grew up listening to him because of my parents being fans. And hopefully now with the new gta trailer, a whole new generation of people will be introduced to him!

Can’t say what happened but I’m 67 years old and I only discovered Tom Petty when I purchased a new Toyota a year ago and it came with Satellite Radio. I never bothered to find out who Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were before that time. Now I’m a huge fan. I’m heartbroken that I will never get to see him perform live. I love his singing, his lyrics, his band mates, his overall showmanship, his collaborations with Stevie Nicks, the Wilbury’s, etc. I will kick myself in the butt the rest of my life that I didn’t discover Tom Petty sooner. RIP, Tom Petty, you were a gift from God and your music totally lives on!

I was blessed to see him 5 times in concert ❤ I love and miss him ❤️‍🩹💔❤️‍🩹

Cried my eyes out 😭 when heard of his exit💔 An enormous shock to many. A national treasure we’ll never forget 🌹 his music is part of the soundtrack of our lives & what he contributed is immeasurable 💫

I get heartsick whenever I see an interview with him. He should still be here.

And now he finally got the recognition that he deserved

Tom will always be great and very missed.

Each time I see his picture or hear his music, I’m both excited and happy, and so, so sad. He was a marvel, and truly a national treasure. I’ll always regret never hearing him and the Heartbreakers live. RIP, Mr Petty. Affection and great respect.

Absolute legend. Like most if not all on your page. Been scrolling non stop since I came across these life n death tributes 🫡🙏

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ he was an actor too I think. loved him. Last dance with MaryJane was my fav. 😢

Tom and I were both born in October of 1950. We were both inspired by The Beatles performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. I played drums in several bands in the 1960’s and 70’s. I did not continue along that path but had a successful engineering career. Tom and I both had a fractured hip. However, I got mine fixed. So I am still here and healthy at 73 years old. We were both Beatles fans. But I was a fan of his. Always loved his music and was very sad to not have him around anymore. R I P my fellow Libra.

The first time I heard of Tom Petty was back in 1979 in San Francisco. I was 11 years old and listening to my mom's roommate's stereo. I don't recall which radio station it was, either KSFX or KRQR, but the DJ announced that the next song he was about to play was a callobaration by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. I remember thinking to myself, who's Tom Petty? Let me tell you, to this very day, 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' is among one of the best songs ever penned to paper. And as they say, the rest is history. Tom was/is a legend in his own right. Thank you Tom for all the beautiful songs. May you rest in peace Tom Petty. 🤘😎👍🇺🇸

He will be missed I’ll never forget POCONO PETTY

I grew up with Tom Petty's music. When I first heard The Waiting in 81 I was a fan. His work later on with Jeff Lynn and The Traveling Wilburys was unforgettable. RIP, Tom. Thank you for all the music.

That voice will live forever.. so many great tunes.. I'm 41, last dance will be played at my funeral.. such an amazing artist

Me too...alive at 70 and loving Tom more the ever and forever more❤

I f*cking love Tom petty. I can't believe it's already been almost 7yrs. He will always and forever be my favorite.❤

It’s sad that he didn’t get to see the GTA VI trailer with his song on there

My dad listened to a very wide array of music he was a drummer. I remenber hearing tom being played alot as a child. Well after my dad passed away i got his music out and im rediscovering all this amazing music.

I love his music, I was just listening to him the other day💯 you are missed, the world loves and misses you 🙏😍

Tom Petty was such an incredible musician. I saw him at Greatwoods just outside of Boston in late 80s and his tour bus had a destination window placard that instead of identifying where the bus was going or who owned it, it read “Nobody You Know”. Sure miss him.

RIP GREAT ONE

I was lucky enough to see Tom & the Heartbreakers the night before Live Aid! It was a shortened show but we'll worth it! He Will be missed!

Who is here after the GTA VI trailer?

Gta

I miss him with every fiber of my heart. He saved me from the darkest parts of myself. I just wish i could return the favor after learning about his dark childhood and life. His talking and singing voice soothes my heart when i need it the most.

I Loved Tom Peppy 🙏🙏🥰🥰💕💕

My fav solo artist

Excellent tribute guy. TP was awesome! Much respect. Thx!

This is so beautifully done… Thank you for truly honoring Tom. You are awesome.

Never got a chance to see him live but always loved him and his music as a kid, Tom Petty forever changed lives with just a few chords

We would go see him in The Woodlands, Texas every time he came through. He always had THE BEST SHOWS. It was always the best vibe and a good time. His sound was awesome live as much as his albums were. No difference as opposed to some who rely heavily on studio equipment. A true artist. So glad for the many times I was able to see him.

I went to a Mountain Aire concert where he was the last band to play. We decided to leave since we weren't really into his songs. I said, "Let's stay for at least 2 songs." One of the Best shows I have ever went to! He was an amazing performer amongst his many talents!

My dad favourite song was by the traveling wilburys so I was weaned on Tom Petty and so was my son who's 27 now. Good music NEVER dies. I don't think my kid listens to what they call music now a days

💔 Shared my B day with Tom. Caught the damn the torpedoes tour. Quite a talented guy.

He was one of the best musicians I ever heard! I truly miss him but we all are not far to seeing him again 🎉

Will always be my absolute favorite. Best music ever

He'll always be one of the all time greats of the music industry. I was truly sad when he passed and wish I could have gone to one of his concerts.

I remember hearing about Tom’s death that morning on the radio and thinking, “Oh, no.” Wish he had had the hip surgery. Reportedly concerned that the surgery and the time to heal would prevent touring and income for his band.

I never got to see Tom Petty play and I'll always regret it. I miss him and think of him often. He was trés cool.

One of my favorite artist's. I lost count of the amount of times that I've seen him. Another one of the greats has gone too soon.

I cried like a baby when I heard he passed. His music moved me so much...Gonna miss u Tom but u will live on threw your music. I guess it was your time to turn the page...

His duet with Stevie Nicks in Stop Dragging My Heart Around is one of the greatest moments in rock history. What a songwriter! His untimely death was a shock to me. I didn't see that coming.

I saw themApril 22, 2017 in Dallas Tx. He died a few months later. It was on my Bucket List. I grew up listening to them and can sing most songs by heart till this day. When the beat dropped for You Got Lucky I lost it!! It’s my favorite song by them. Tom your are loved and missed. Thank you for the music❤🙏🏾😢

Tom Petty was my favorite singer and he is missed very much.😢

Describing him as a national treasure is appropriate. The first concert I ever attended was TP at the UCSB Event Center, Goleta, CA, in 1979. That's a great way to start going to live music shows. His music is and will always be very special to me. I know many others feel the same way. Gone way too soon. RIP.

One of my all time favorites

Thank you for your kind words Tom was my greatest hero he put fire in my bones and quench my thirst with his unique and masterful not to mention original brand of rock ‘n’ roll. it will forever haunt me and leaves me with the inability to ever back down now he was an American

Just glad i got to take my Dad to see him in Oregon! Was a great time. My Dad passed a few years later. Will always love Tom!!❤

I will NEVER forget you😢. You were my first concert I ever went to and you were my last also. I still enjoy your music more than anything else I've ever heard it speaks right to my heart ❤️. R.I.P I listen to your music more than anyone else's and always will. I still love it and I can't play it enough it's something I will never get tired of ❤😊

Many of his songs have become my anthems. God bless his soul

One of my all time favorites! Tom Petty, Meatloaf, Jimmy Buffet, & Robin Williams; the 4 guys that broke my heart when they left this world.

Im so glad i was on the planet at the same time as Tom Petty. Legend London misses u Tom

Miss him dearly ... Tom Petty/Heartbreakers and the Black Crows was my last concert. It was expensive but worth it! ! 😎👍

He was favorite all time artist❤ Seen several of his concerts in person. RIP TOM

He was underrated as a musician ❤ from Australia
