All deaths are sad but inevitable so remembering them is a way to heal our hearts. One of the loses that hit me harder than most was the lose of Tom Petty.

October 2nd will mark the 2 year anniversary of the lose of Tom Petty after an accidental overdose in 2017.

Petty recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist. In his career, he sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the*best-selling music artists of all time. He and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the*Rock and Roll Hall of Fame*in 2002. Petty died at the age of 66, of an accidental overuse of prescription drugs, one week after the completion of the Heartbreakers' 40th anniversary tour.
