1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a "do not resuscitate" order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live through the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

12:30 PM PT -- We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.

If you've never listened to "Crawling Back to You" particularly on the Live Anthology, please do yourself a favor and listen ASAP.  RIP.

Terrible, this hits almost as hard as Cornell for me.    I'll be spinning some Petty records tonight.

[Mother Grabber]

wowzers. I'm stunned.

Tough loss, this one.

I still have "Damn the Torpedoes" and "You're Gonna Get It" on vinyl. Started listening to Petty in 1980, but never got to see him live.

For the record, he hasn't passed yet. He's not expected to make it through the day, but he's still hanging on to life. The link has updated the information.

Spinning some Petty tonight no matter what comes of this.

another huge part of my musical life growing up.
