I'd say he'll see many of his peers out. I saw Mr. Lynne in concert at Wembley Stadium, London in June he was looking pretty fit to me and put on a brilliant concert. He's not a kick in the backside away from being 70 but I have seen much younger musicians that don't have the stamina he has, I won't be adding him to my list anytime soon.

Also had a friend that saw Mr. Petty in Hyde Park, pretty amazing gig by all accounts and he was only a year or two younger than Jeff, I might have to rethink that one :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one hour documentary BBC Four did a few years ago found him in a lavish LA mansion very much engaged with his work and healthy. The one conspicuous absentee was a wife/girlfriend. Actually he's twice divorced with a history of going out with other women as well but appears to be very much in his own world. Paul McCartney described him as very talented but "something of a twat." All of which has fuelled the argument he's a high functioning OCD/autism job of some sort who works hard and plays moderately. Of course - if he dies tomorrow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,144 Posted October 4, 2017 9 minutes ago, CoffinLodger said: The article was published just 5 hours ago though Careless journos. It's obvious what happened. He died naturally from a heart attack, he was rushed to emergency while they shocked his heart into functioning and put him on life support. He was dead though, brain dead, so he was kept on life support to give family and friends time to say goodbye. In real terms he was dead from the start, even if technically alive for a few hours. That's the reason for the confused early reports 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that you are being a dumbass at the moment. He's dead. It's confirmed by his family, there's no way he's still alive. The "false" report was very similar to the false report earlier, and it's not one of the most reliable sources out there. Please don't look at one source and get your facts there... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted October 4, 2017 Hmmm. Can I be arsed doing a list re the Cash American Recordings collaborators? Perhaps at weekend. Six albums I think, and Petty was the latest to peg. Lots of DL folk, Crowe,, Henley, Young etc being most likely next up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,144 Posted January 20, 2018 Various prescribed painkillers, to be more precise. Quote Tom's autopsy report shows the singer was on several pain meds, including Fentanyl patches, oxycodone (Oxycontin), temazepam (Restoril), SPAM (SPAM), SPAM (SPAM), acetyl fentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl. The reason doctors prescribed the meds was because of a number of medical problems, including emphysema, knee problems and a fractured hip. The family says the linchpin to Tom's demise was the fractured hip. He insisted on touring for 53 concert dates with the condition, which worsened over time and caused him to take the meds. On the date he had the heart attack he was told his hip had graduated to a full-on break that made the pain unbearable and may have caused the overuse of meds. Bloody hell. That shouldn't have happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
