Been conflicting reports. Even announced he had died on the Tom Petty Channel on SiriusXM. They've backed off the statement that he died on SXM and TMZ still maintains his condition is unknown. I'm doubtful the news will be any different sometime later tonight or tomorrow, but for now, he is still fighting the good fight.

Supposedly he is brain dead with a no resuscitate order so the family had life support removed.

I saw him perform in Dallas this spring with Joe Walsh. It was an excellent show. He will be missed.
