Tom Petty, the dynamic and iconoclastic frontman who led the band the Heartbreakers, went into full cardiac arrest at his Malibu home Sunday night, with conflicting reports on whether the Hall of Fame musician died on Monday. Petty was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest at his home, according to TMZ, and rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. EMTs were able to find a pulse when they found him, but TMZ reported that the hospital found no brain activity when he arrived. A decision was made to pull life support. CBS originally confirmed Petty's death per the Los Angeles Police Department, but TMZ claims the musician is still on life support.

Is it too early to say that his heart is broken.

Tom Petty did what few band leaders practice. He split the royalties and profits equally among the group.
At Jim Morrison’s insistence The Doors did the same.
Not many (top) bands do this. Hardly any for that matter.

An old friend of mine, Howie, was Tom’s Bass player for years. Howie got mixed up with one of the beautiful but nasty Carter girl junkies, and OD/d. His weakness, but I can never forgive her!

Oh man, so sad. I saw him and The Heartbreakers in concert in 1982. Good show.

“A decision was made to pull life support.”
What does something like that mean? A decision was made. WHO made that decision? I just hate this kind of writing.
