TMZ first reported it, CBS confirmed it (NOTE: See below), Tom Petty is dead and the day just keeps getting worse. He kinda defined Classic Rock, but you couldn't find too many people who didn't at least like his music a little. He just finished a big tour with three nights at the Hollywood Bowl, too. Sigh. UPDATE: CBS' confirmation came from the LAPD, which is now saying they were mistaken at the time and that they don't know for sure he's dead yet. And TMZ is dancing around it by saying he's likely to die before the day's out but isn't dead yet, as far as they know. So, failure of confirmation. Still looks bad for TP, but it wasn't handled well by the reporters, either. (TMZ; CBS News)
