RIP Celebrity Thread - Part 3

[squeekness]

Variety says he is clinging to life.

 

[terry78]

So he's gone, he's alive....what the hell.

 

[squeekness]

Does it matter if he's not going to make it? Of course Variety said nothing about his demise being inevitable.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Reminds me a little of the initial uncertainty when Powers Boothe's death was first announced a few months back.

 

[squeekness]

Well it's still fact he is gravely ill.

Tom Petty, the long-haired rocker whose famously nasal voice was behind some of rock’s greatest hits, was in the hospital Monday as unconfirmed reports of his death circulated.

The “Free Fallin’” singer, 66, was found unconscious and not breathing in his Malibu home, and was subsequently taken to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital Sunday, where he "had no brain activity," according to TMZ.

The gossip site reported that Petty was taken off life support on a do not resuscitate order from his family, and is currently "clinging to life."

CBS News first reported that Petty had died, but the Los Angeles Police Department later said they had no information, and had no investigative role in the matter.

 

[squeekness]

"No brain activity" sounds pretty bad to me.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Oh Geez... This is terrible.

 

[fancyarcher]

L.A. Times officially confirming it.

My mom saw him in concert recently, and said the entire crowd loved his performance, I'm really at a loss for words. He was an excellent musician and this is a huge loss. Into The Great Wide Open is a terrific album, in a career full of them. RIP!!!

Tom made some of the most awesome music videos ever, here are 2 of my all time faves




RIP Tom, you were awesome!

 

[Frodo]

I'm heart broken. He was one of my musical idols and Free Falling is one of my favorite songs ever. So many of his songs from American Girl, I won't back down, walls , Last dance for Mary Jane , and You don't know how it feels ,were apart of my life as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s.

Now he's with the two other legendary Willbury's, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. A true legend.

Rest in peace, and thank you for the music, and the memories.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

So they're saying cardiac arrest right?

 

[squeekness]

Yeah, cardiac arrest which lead to brain death. Big time bummer.

The 'Don't Come Around Here No More' video was my introduction to Petty.

 

[squeekness]

Refugee for me. So many more great songs we could have had.

RIP Tom Petty

 

[squeekness]

I'm having a hard time with this. It's always worse for me when a death comes out of the blue.

Is it bad to say I'm relived it's not someone I know this time?

I remember him from the TV show LAST COMIC STANDING from around 10 years ago. He was very overweight and people were scared about his health back then.

Well at least he got a little more time, then.
