Well folks, we’ve lost another good one. Dammit.
Tom Petty, 66, has unfortunately left us. Reports are saying that he was found last night unconscious and was in full cardiac arrest. He was put on life support at UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, where he was rushed immediately.
With no brain activity, the decision to pull life support was made just this afternoon.
Raise your glasses, let’s toast another good one gone too early.
