    It’s crazy to see how deep Tom’s dedication to perform for his fans was.
    He performed this concert with a fractured hip and looking at him you could tell he was in pain but that didn’t stop him from performing a flawless live version of “wildflowers”
    Rest In Peace Tom

      I'm so happy I got a chance to see Tom Petty in Ottawa at the Bluesfest. That was the best concert with fans singing the songs we all loved with him. I will never forget Tom Petty and will miss his music,songs forever. It was really a Heart Breaker to know he was in so much pain and never took care of himself. But a dedicated musician for his fans and bandmates. R.I.P. Tom 💔

      Tom Petty died of an accidental drug overdose of several medications. Despite a painful injury he insisted on keeping his commitment to his fans, and toured 53 dates with a fractured hip. It worsened to a more serious injury. On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full-on break and the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause for his over use of medication,” According to his wife and daughter, the manner of death was an “accident,” Many begin with a legitimate injury or simply do not understand the potency and deadly nature of these medications.” Perhaps he was misinformed the severity of these meds. No one will ever know. No doubt he knew Jesus and is thriving in heaven. ✝️

    He was a humble, sweet guy from Florida who loved his fans and whose songs and storytelling we all could relate to. You are missed so much Mr. Petty and im so grateful 🙏 for all the music you left behind. 😢😢 I hope i find you in a field of wildflowers 💐 someday. You are loved ❤

    When I was 17 Tom came into the Studio City movie theater on Ventura and Laurel Canyon where we played the original Superman movie for over 12 months straight. I served him at the concession counter. After I gave him his change (everyone used old fashioned money back then) I asked him if he was Tom Petty. He paused, twirled the jumbo Nestlé Crunch bar I gave him in his fingers like a drum stick and grinned slyly. Before he could answer I told him I just bought Damn The Torpedos. He said thanks a lot and went back inside. Love his music even more than way back in 1979.

    I saw him a few months before the show when he was in Boston on this tour. It was the only time that I saw Tom Petty, and I'm so glad that I did see him a few months before he passed. I had wanted to see him live since I was a kid, and it was really special to be in an arena full of people singing Free Fallin' together. That said, the song that I think touched me the most at that show was Wildflowers. He did such a beautiful rendition with the female singers on this tour; I will never forget hearing Wildflowers live that night!

Losing Tom was the end of an era, no other artist, especially the new youngins today, will ever play with the passion and love that Tom did.

    He looks very similiar to Jerry Garcia in Chicago in 1995...miss them both terribly. You can see he is favoring that leg...We were so lucky to have them

      Except Tom is about 200 pounds lighter than Jerry at the end. And he can still sing.
