UPDATE 10:25 p.m. from LA Times:
After several premature reports that Petty had died when he hadn’t, the Los Angeles Times has confirmed that he is officially deceased.
UPDATE 1:35 p.m. from TMZ:
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 throughout 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.
I really thought this day could not get worse. Then I saw this.

I can't think of an important moment in my life without an accompanying Tom Petty song. Every night we walk off stage to his music. So sad.

I only have real genuine love for a few artists. Tom Petty is one of them. I'm sure many feel this way. A very very sad day just got sadder.

Final thoughts
This is simply awful news. I have no words. From “Breakdown” to the Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty has been part of my generation. Losing him is a terrible tragedy.
