Earlier report:
Tom Petty, the longtime singer-songwriter, is in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest.
He was then rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital.
TMZ reported that he has been in critical condition as of Sunday night. He was put on life support.
“We’re told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support,” TMZ reported on Monday afternoon. The website, however, didn’t elaborate on that statement.
Petty is known for hits like “Free Fallin,” “Mary Jane’s Last Dance,” “Refugee,” “I Won’t Back Down,” and a slew of others.
He recently wrapped up a long North American tour.
Petty has nabbed three Grammy wins over the years.
“We’re all on the backside of our 60s,” he told the magazine. “I have a granddaughter now I’d like to see as much as I can. I don’t want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months. With a little kid, that’s a lot of time.”
