LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES SEPTEMBER 25, 2019-TWO YEARS AGO, AFTER 3 GREAT SHOWS IN THE BAY AREA AT THE GREEK THEATRE, TOM PETTY RETURNED TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO PERFORM AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. IT WAS THE LAST CONCERT ON PETTY’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR. WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE LAST PERFORMANCE EVER. TOM PETTY WOULD DIE SEVEN DAYS LATER OF AN ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE. THE SINGER HAD BEEN TAKING SEVERAL PAIN MEDICATIONS, INCLUDING FENTANYL AND OXYCODONE, TO TREAT A FRACTURED HIP AND OTHER ISSUES. DESPITE HAVING THE FRACTURED HIP, PETTY INSISTED ON KEEPING HIS COMMITMENT TO HIS FANS AND TOURED 53 DATES WITH A FRACTURED HIP, AND AS HE KEPT TOURING, IT WORSENED THE INJURY.
A TRUE ROCK AND ROLL LEGEND, TOM PETTY PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF SIXTY SIX.
HERE’S PETTY’S LAST CONCERT IN ITS ENTIRETY
