00:06On October 2nd, 2017, the sudden death of Heartbreakers frontman Tom Petty shocked the nation.

00:12Tributes are pouring in about Tom Petty.

00:15In a career that spanned four decades, he produced timeless hits, including American Girl and Free Falling.

00:21He co-founded supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, sold 80 million records worldwide, and earned 18 Grammy nominations.

00:30The secret is the audience keeps coming back, and we thank you so much.

00:35He connected with the original juice of Rock and Roll. He was one of the true, authentic Rock and Roll heroes.

00:56But just one week later, Tom was pronounced dead.

01:00It was a tremendous shock.
