Tom Petty was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after he was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

EMTs rushed to his Malibu home and were able to get a pulse. He was rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital and our sources say he was put on life support.

Petty's condition is unknown but was critical from the moment he was found.

I liked The Postman.

Fun Fact....

Tom Petty’s guitar teacher in Gainesville was a guy named Don Felder...who later went on to join some group about birds.

“Tom’s “Full Moon Fever” album was an essential requirement for living in residence back when I was a freshman in 1989.”

I've witnessed many that have had cardiac arrests...and we get them back..

If there is medical attention there, immediately, it's possible. If someone is asystole when found, the chance of them coming back to any real function is pretty much nil as they were probably down too long. If you are in the business, you know the success percentage of CPR even when done by someone skilled in it.

“Something Big”, my favorite.

Hello, CD listeners. We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassette (or records) will have to stand up (or sit down) and turn over the record (or tape). In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds before we begin side two. Thank you. Here's side two.

[EEGator]

Heard that!

[beaversmom]

Keith is probably okay with it.

What a shitty day.

Thanks for the music and memories. His shows were always fun.

Add to that being brain dead and things don’t look so good.

Yeah - like the old saying goes: “I get up in the morning and read the obits first thing. If I’m not listed in them, I put on my clothes and have breakfast”.

[OttawaFreeper]

Yes, he who coined “Come on down” on The Price is Right and did other Goodson-Todman shows like Match Game and Tattletales.
