Rock legend, Tom
Petty has died, his longtime manager Tony Dimitriades confirms. Dimitriades
says Petty died at 8:40 PM PT at UCLA surrounded by friends, family and his
bandmates.
EMTs responded to a call at Tom's home Sunday night for a
person, who was unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest, he was
taken to UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, where he was immediately put on life
support, TMZ reports.
After learning Tom had no brain activity, his family chose
to take him off life support.
Tom hit it big in 1978 with his band, the Heartbreakers,
which scored hits with "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Here Comes
My Girl" to name just a few.
