It looks like there’s some rustling in the Tom Petty camp. A countdown clock recently appeared on the late rockstar’s official website, with an expiration time of 10 a.m. ET tomorrow morning (Wednesday, July 11th). An image of the late singer-songwriter also accompanied the countdown clock.
In the early hours of October 3rd, 2017, rock and roll icon Tom Petty was officially pronounced dead after nearly half a day’s worth of conflicting reports, most of which indicated that he had suffered a heart attack. Petty had just finished a large-scale 40th-anniversary tour with The Heartbreakers. He died from an apparent accidental overdose at the age of 66.
Although unclear, speculation points towards the possibility of a reissue of Petty’s 1994 Wildflowers album as a double-LP release. Petty had been considering a tour in support of Wildflowers before his untimely death, his manager reported. Some fans have even speculated that the image of Petty on his website, looks strikingly similar to Petty during the Wildflowers era. Luckily, we only have to wait until the morning to find out what all the fuss is about!
