Get off the road and take care of yourself the fans would understand. What a damn shame not to see this.
So agree with that; the report says that he did it (the tour) for the fans. The family hope that the release of the report will spark more query into the opioid crisis.

Sad that any doctor would prescribe opiates to a heroin addict.

I wonder why he didn't put himself in the hospital immediately after tour and get the hip taken care of? It doesn't make sense. Maybe a fear of surgery? I had a friend who died rather than undergo surgery.

Could be that he would have had to detox and get clean before he went into surgery and he wasn't ready/couldn't do that.

As John Lennon would have said: 'Another victim of the drugs scene'.

I am member of a facebook group in honour of Bill Graham. One issue was Elvis' doctor's recipe right bevor his death. My initial thoguhts were why is he so depressive though he is a famous person beloved by the world.
The same goes for Tom Petty. No, it's not cynical. He should have learned of Elvis' example.
Don't misunderstand me: To us it might seem strange that some people are not happy though they seem to have all the material and immaterial love needed. It's somehow the same with Ronnie's booze problems.

Yes, I call it mad if an intelligent man uses extremely dangerous painkillers.

They are all dangerous. And it is so easy to second guess what others should do when faced with crippling pain.

What an ignorant statement. You know nothing about addiction.

That happens when the pain becomes too much and you live in a world, in a culture, where people have reached in the direction of heroin to stop the pain. He’s a rock and roller. He had had encounters with people who did heroin

True! Who's the musician who said "on heroin I could have watched someone cut my leg with a saw and I would have smiled at him"?

No interest in chiming in on his cause of death but having read back through this thread I can honestly say Tom Petty is still on daily rotation at my house. My three year old's favorite tune is 'The Waiting' - There is no bad time or place to crank some TP and the Heartbreakers
Right on man! Same at my house.Quote

arm chair doctors and psychiatrists on this site are disturbing....Petty made a mistake....thousands make similar mistakes all the time...mixing over the counter cold medications with other medications at bed time and never waking up....sad story...unfortunate....perhaps others will learn from this tragedy...rip Tom Petty.
