The RIP Thread

Tom Petty - Heart Attack

 

Fake - soon be time for your internet demise - the wolves are circling.

 

Pølser

 

Well blow me, saw that he was a target of a hoax only a couple of weeks ago.
Durbar, you should still watch out you blaggard you

 

That's a real heart breaker.

 

RIP Tom.

 

Too upset to say anything apart from these few words

 

Only just heard that Charles Bradley died recently. A latecomer to fame as a soul singer in the James Brown style. Only just missed seeing him ... and now never will. The big C takes another soul (singer).

Thanks to everyone for supporting us for the last 40 years! Without YOU, there'd be no US! #TPHB40

 

It must be true, the Daily Mail says so.

 

What's Trump tweeting about this?

I'll go with the opposite

 

LA Times saying he has been hospitalised but no reports of his death.

 

He's crawling back to us

 

He's free falling but he won't back down

The news ricocheted around the web immediately: CBS News was reporting that Tom Petty was dead.

It kicked off widespread reaction and remembrances on Monday, with star singers like John Mayer, Shania Twain and Jon Bon Jovi all paying tribute to Mr. Petty on Twitter.

It soon emerged, however, that the news was premature.

When CBS reported Mr. Petty’s death on Twitter, preceded by a capitalized banner “JUST IN,” the network attributed the news to the Los Angeles Police Department. In an article published online, there was no mention of the L.A.P.D., merely the phrase “CBS News has confirmed.” (CBS later deleted the tweet.)

Numerous other news outfits, including Entertainment Weekly, Slate and HuffPost, soon posted articles about Mr. Petty’s death, all attributing the news to CBS. Rolling Stone even got a statement from Bob Dylan, who said: “I thought the world of Tom. He was great performer, full of the light, a friend, and I’ll never forget him.”

But about an hour after the CBS report went online, the Los Angeles Police Department said it could not confirm his death, setting off mass confusion on social media over Mr. Petty’s actual condition. Mr. Petty, 66, had been taken to a hospital after going into cardiac arrest at his home in California, TMZ reported. But while TMZ had also reported that the singer was unresponsive and had been taken off life support, it never reported that he was dead.

The Police Department appeared to take the blame, saying on Twitter that “initial information was inadvertently provided to some media sources.”
