Got the news of Tom Petty's condition just before last nights show here in U.K. Just found out his passing was confirmed. He was such a true musical hero and his songs will live forever. This one seems even more poignant in these last couple days and decided we'd open the show with it. RIP @tompettyofficial and Have fun jamming with your Rock n Roll heroes in Rock n Roll Heaven. ??????

I believe @tompetty is in Heaven entertaining the beautiful souls that were lost last night in #Vegas. That's what I believe right now. ?

I can't think of an important moment in my life without an accompanying Tom Petty song. Every night we walk off stage to his music. So sad.
