According to the site, the rock legend was rushed to UCLA Santa Monica Hospital where he was put on life support and his pulse returned. Later the decision was reportedly made to remove him from life support after it was found that he was lacking brain activity.

Just last week Petty concluded an extensive, 5 month tour at the Hollywood Bowl. In December he admitted to Rolling Stone that the trek, made in honour of 40th anniversary of the Heartbreakers’ debut, would likely be “the last big one.”

We wish him all the best.
