A true icon indeed. I was a huge fan of his music, and the day he died, I remember I cried my eyes out. He was a good man.

During a VH1 interview, he was quoted as saying how much he loved Kurt Cobain, and how much he loved his music and art. I always love hearing him say that. He was one of a kind. RIP

I was born three weeks before him and followed him most of my life. It is so sad that he suffered with pain. He didn't deserve that. He was a great musician. He brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people.

So very sad. I’m 61 years old and a life long music fanatic. Out of all the artists we’ve lost throughout those years, I miss Tom Petty the most. Just sucks yo not have him still writing and performing his amazing music. RIP Tom

I left home and traveled coast to coast, and just about everywhere in between, with Tom Petty blasting from my speakers. Tom Petty has been a huge part of my life bc of his music. I miss him, but he left some great gifts behind and I still blast his music from my speakers. Love you brother.

Tom Petty loved music and loved living. Wherever there's good tunes, good friends, and good times, Tom lives on.

Been born in Gainesville I know there is no bigger legend in that town. My all time favorite artist!

[mrsbluesky]

His voice seemed effortless, it was low but very strong and musical. What a talent. I saw him in concert and he was fantastic along w the Heartbreakers. Unforgettable man.

One of a kind. I too saw the Beatles on E Sullivan. A good bit younger than Tom . I'm so happy to be on the planet with Tom . RIP brother.

❤ I miss Tom Petty's music. I admired him for standing up to and helping his friend Stevie Nicks. I will forever remember one of my oldest and dearest friends who died at 43, it's hard to believe it's been a decade, everytime I hear Mary Jane's last dance. RIP and sing the light back into your soul Tom Petty. You were a bigger influence than you think.

[jimthompson]

Absolutely... ABSOLUTELY agree with you on this....Tom was a national treasure. I was so lucky to have seen him in concert several times and was so saddened at his death. His music is timeless and I will forever miss him. Rest in peace, Tom.... Rest In Peace. ❤️
