Tom Petty UPDATE: It appears CBS news of Tom Petty’s death was premature. As of 7:40PM CDT Monday, the LA Times, CBS News and the LAPD are reporting that Tom Petty is still hospitalized in critical condition, and is off life support but has not died.

Tom Petty was taken to UCLA Medical Center for a cardiac incident Sunday night, but as of 1:15 p.m. PDT Monday there was no official confirmation that the 66-year-old rock musician had died.

The Los Angeles Police Department, which had been cited in a report by CBS News and subsequently by other outlets that picked up the CBS news story, tweeted Monday afternoon that “Initial information [that Petty died] was inadvertently provided to some media sources.”

We’re sending our prayers and best wishes to Tom Petty and his family at this difficult time.
