aNewDomain — Tom Petty has died. The rocker was 66.
Petty gave what many considered to be his final performance a week ago. Rolling Stone talked to Petty late last year and, in that interview, he said that he and his Heartbreakers were about to embark on their final tour:
“It’s very likely we’ll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don’t think so. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was thinking this might be the last big one. We’re all on the backside of our sixties. I have a granddaughter now I’d like to see as much as I can. I don’t want to spend my life on the road …”
