this feels like a hoax. Maybe its still early and his people havent commented. So far, it all stems just from TMZ. Many national news organizations havent even picked it up (they are also busy with Vegas).
Hopefully someone put one over TMZ
TMZ is usually spot on. They verify things before reporting stuff like this. They are indeed a very credible news source. People assume they're not just because they cover entertainment news, but they are actually very good with due diligence. This is their wheelhouse.
I know that.
It still isn't being reported anywhere else with corroboration. Still holding out wishful thinking.
CBS News has reported that he's dead. :( Other outlets are reporting on it too (though only CBS has actually said he's dead so far).
So sad.
Well CBS jumped the gun for some reason, obviously... geez, I hope this doesn't draw out for him and his family, while the world waits with bated breath. That would be tough.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
wait so is it true or not damn what a mess Rolling Stone posted article no ?
It's all true except for him actually being dead, as far as I can tell. I think it was CBS who first announced the death (who knows why - I didn't see it anywhere else before they posted it), and maybe the LAPD reposted that report? Something like that. Got a little messy, which is a shame.

Holy damn poor Tom & family fans this really sucks !
Seems like they’re keeping him alive for those close to him to say their goodbyes. His daughter posted that his bandmates were in the room with him a bit ago.
He is still on life support but likely brain dead. Buddy at work got text today from good friend who has a relationship with one of his guitar techs.

Seeing reports on his twitter account that after they pulled him off life support he started breathing again on his own.

They wouldnt just take him off life support unless he was brain dead or they were palliating him and they wouldnt do that this soon.

I guess. I've read that sometimes, on super rare occasions, having the plug pulled sparks some life back into the brain. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. If the lack of oxygen did extensive damage to his brain, you kind of want him to rest in peace :(

One of my best musical memories was flying to Amsterdam in 2012 to see two PJ shows. Tom Petty and jack white played the two previous nights in Amsterdam (at a smaller venue) so I went up two nights early to see each of them. Eddie came out unannounced and sang The Waiting and American Girl with Petty and the heartbreakers. Eddie was having a blast at the show, you could tell how big of a fan he was of them while on the stage with them, and also as he watched from the side of the stage (I was nearby and he was dancing and having fun the entire show).
