Stevie Winwood, Jeff Lyne, Tom Petty  and Dhani Harrison 

Maybe it’s just me but somehow the melancholic air here is almost unbearably sad . . . . .to these ears. So glad to see lovely Dhani but the loss of Tom and of course George is too too sad

The Formation of The Traveling Wilburys - George Harrison

 

“I was having dinner with Jeff Lynne, he was having dinner with Roy Orbison and I said to Jeff ‘do you feel like coming along’ and he said ‘sure’. 

Roy Orbison said ‘well if you do something give me a call’. 

I went round to Tom Petty’s house to pick up my guitar which was at his house and he said ‘Oh I was wondering what I was going to do tomorrow’. 

And the meantime we were, with such short notice, I didn’t know of any studio that I could find that quickly. 

So I called Bob and he said ‘sure come on over’.”

 – George Harrison on the forming of the Traveling Wilburys

TOM PETTY R.I.P. 

1950 - 2017

American musician Tom Petty has died on October 2, 2017 in California aged 66, says a statement issued on behalf of his family. Petty was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest at his Malibu home early on Monday. He was taken to hospital, but could not be revived and died later that evening. Petty was best known as the lead singer of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers rock band, producing such hits as American Girl, Breakdown, Free Fallin’, Learning to Fly and Refugee. “He died peacefully at 20:40 Pacific time (03:40 GMT Tuesday) surrounded by family, his bandmates and friends,” said his long-time manager Tony Dimitriades. Petty and the band were on the forefront of the heartland rock movement, alongside artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger. The genre eschews the synthesizer-based music and fashion elements. Petty was also a co-founder of the Traveling Wilburys group in the late 1980s, touring with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison. 

“It’s shocking, crushing news,” said Dylan, according to the Los Angeles Times. “I thought the world of Tom. He was great performer, full of the light, a friend, and I’ll never forget him.” 

Petty also found solo success in 1989 with his album Full Moon Fever, which featured one of his most popular songs Free Fallin’, co-written with Jeff Lynne. In 2002, Petty was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. - BBC
