Legendary rock artist Tom Petty passed away yesterday evening after having been taken off life support post-cardiac arrest.
Petty was found unresponsive in his home Sunday night after going into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced brain dead. Petty's family decided to take him off life support and issued a Do Not Resuscitate, and Petty passed on late Monday night or early Tuesday morning at the age of 66 years old. Now members of Sepultura, Anthrax, Dethklok, Halestorm, Fozzy, Testament, Sons Of Apollo, and more are memorializing Petty via social media and remembering all he gave to the world of rock, and the world in general, with his music.
Rest in peace, Tom, and thanks for all the music.
No! We have lost Tom Petty. From our opening act in the seventies to becoming a brilliant songwriter and performer I have loved his music. pic.twitter.com/yhyPCfm2l6

One of the most distinctive voices in R&R. The Confederate Flag thing pissed me off, but Petty was one of the GREATS. Very sad to hear
