Celebrity deaths usually do nothing to me...but this one hurts like a punch to the gut.

I feel the same, I can't really think of many who I've cared about in the least - but if I were to make a soundtrack of my life's memories, Tom & the Heartbreakers would be prominent in it.
The best thing to come from Gainesville. The man was a genius. His best song ever was "The Last DJ."
Only thing out of Gainesville that I could actually get behind.
RIP

October 2 2017 is just a Dark Day...saw Petty in concert multiple times..great songwriter and musician...I just feel sick all over right now
Geez, that sucks.
This make it even sadder.
In December, Petty told Rolling Stonethat he thought this would be the group's last tour together. He said, "It's very likely we'll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don't think so. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was thinking this might be the last big one. We're all on the backside of our sixties. I have a granddaughter now I'd like to see as much as I can. I don't want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months. With a little kid, that's a lot of time."

Heart attacks bring death and sadness for surviving families. Trust me on this one.
Agreed, I guess its who you grew up with and who made a mark on your life. Robin Williams and Petty are the only ones recently I thought "Man, SOB, why not Kanye instead?".
He had so many good songs. He was 66, looks older.
I went through all the appropriate hand-wringing last year when we lost a bunch of legends...but now I know how people felt. I'm really shook by a celeb death for the first time in a long, long time.
Tom Petty was my absolute #1, not really close. His (largely forgotten) album Southern Accents was the most important album to me growing up, and probably my favorite album of all time.
This is going to be a tough one in my house. Kids grew up on Tom Petty from me, and Billy Joel from my wife. We exposed them to a ton of music over the years, but those were always the constants, and my kids have loved them fully and unironically.
