        Thank you to the Petty Family for sharing this information with the public. I'm so sorry for your loss. Tom Petty was a great artist who brought so much joy through his music & lyrics to millions of people. I'm so sorry he was in such pain. God Bless you & keep you #TomPetty.

        I understand he was in pain ..but no human can survive taking all those drugs together.. why would doctors prescribe all that ? Now we are without a musical genius... praying for his loved ones 🙏😢

        Makes me terribly sad. No one should be allowed all of those meds to take at the same time. No one.

        So sad and heartbreaking news about the greatest musician of all time #TomPetty. He was trying to get relief from a horribly painful hip injury not to mention other ailments. I feel bad for him and his family & friends. Very sad

        How do you accidentally overdose?...I guess it makes it sound not as bad as being an addict

        So sad, preventable. You do not give unlimited drug addicts pain meds and expect them to not relapse.
