В этой статье Питер Вольф упоминает о проблемах с бедром у Тома.

Совсем недавно у Тома были проблемы с бедром и он испытывал много боли за кулисами во время этого летнего тура. Он направлялся в зону действия в тележке для гольфа и медленно поднимался по ступенькам на сцену каждую ночь. Но что было удивительно ... как только он надевал свою гитару, казалось, что это волшебная палочка, убирающая все болезни и боль, которые он испытывал ... и всю ночь он держал музыкальный гриф высоко.

Peter Wolf, the longtime lead singer of the J. Geils Band, was friends with Tom Petty for decades, two second-generation rockers with an encyclopedic knowledge of their craft. "What an unbelievable loss," Wolf wrote on his Facebook today. "Tom, may you 'ride down the King's Highway.'" Here is an exclusive remembrance Wolf penned last night for Rolling Stone about his old friend:

I first met Tom when he and the Heartbreakers were the opening act on a J. Geils tour back in 1977. It was a full circle honor for me to be his opening act on the 2017 Heartbreakers' 40th anniversary tour.
Tom and the band definitely had a vision early on of what they wanted to accomplish. Even back then, the audience seemed to understand immediately how special they were, and they received multiple well-deserved encores every night.

The last time I saw Tom was the final night of the recent tour I played with him. We were joking about the time he sent me the song "Don't Do Me Like That," He thought it would be a good song for the Geils band to do - unfortunately we never got around to recording it, so Tom put it on his album, and it became one of his many big hits ... and he certainly was right about that song!


More recently Tom was having hip trouble and in a lot of pain backstage during this summers' tour. He was driven to the performance area in a golf cart and slowly climbed the steps to the stage every night. But what was amazing... once he put on his guitar it seemed like it was a magic wand, taking away every ailment and pain that he was having... and night after night he kept the musical bar high.

That's what I admired about Tom; he worked very hard at everything he did and always with a deep passion and a great sense of dignity. He certainly carved his own way and always stayed one of the good guys!

It’s going to be a while before we find out exactly what caused the death of legendary rocker Tom Petty. The LA County Coroner has deferred his case for more testing and we’ve got the reason why.

While those close to late rocker Tom Petty say he died at age 66 after suffering a full cardiac arrest on Oct. 2, the LA County Coroner’s office is going to take their time before officially naming a cause of death and are listing the case as deferred. “A ‘deferment’ is just a sexier way of saying that we’re waiting for test results to come back from the lab. Often times the family of the deceased will seek what is called a Deferred Certificate so that the body can be buried. In this case, lab results are still going through testing, the doctor still hasn’t signed off on the report and it still hasn’t gone through any kind of transcription,” LA County Coroner’s Office spokesman Ed Winter tells HollywoodLife.com. This means the death certificate can be issued and Tom’s body released to a mortuary so his family can plan burial services.

Running down a dream
By GENARO MOLINA, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER | REPORTING FROM MALIBU

OCTOBER 5, 2017
I was happy in these days of sorrow and felt guilty about it.

I was on my way to photograph rocker Tom Petty at his home in Malibu, and I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway with a grin on my face.

As I hummed all the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers songs that I could from memory, I reflected on the first time I photographed Petty in the early 1980s. It never crossed my mind that Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2017, would be my last.

In 1982, my friends and I found out about a secret concert that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were giving at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium as a warm-up to the US Festival. After the concert, we tracked Petty to his motel. He was on the balcony having a cigarette with that James Dean slouch. “Hi, Tom,” we shouted. “Hey, guys,” he responded.

We all stated that the concert was a triumph, and I asked him if he would sign a few photographs I made of him at a previous show. He agreed. Before signing, he stopped and carefully looked at the photographs. “Did you take these?” he said. I nodded yes. “Nice shots, kid,” he said with a smile, and then graciously autographed my images.

I shook off that memory and began to meditate on my upcoming shoot. The assignment came through saying “Tom doesn’t like to pose” and “You can only photograph him during the interview.” So I thought, as with most celebrity shoots, that I had my work cut out for me.

Petty’s press rep warmly greeted me like an old friend. “So there are many options where you can take Tom’s picture,” she said. The proverbial clouds had parted and I was given free rein of where I could photograph Petty. I began scouting potential sites. Pop music writer Randy Lewis was my model and, as always, my moral support.

Randy and I met with Petty in his studio. He greeted us with a smile. He was wearing his familiar tinted glasses, brim and an Army canvas jacket. And he wore that Tom Petty cool without effort. After congratulating him on the completion of his 40th anniversary tour, I asked if we could step outside for a few portraits. I told him that I was hoping to emulate a picture that I made of Joni Mitchell a few years ago as she meditated under a fig tree. I said that I wanted to make an image that captured him in a reflective state, remembering four decades of music. I showed him my image of Mitchell and he became animated with the prospect of recreating the moment. “Let me get my favorite guitar,” he said, walking briskly back into his house. He returned with an acoustic Gibson six-string guitar, a cigarette and a cup of coffee.

As we made our way to the site of my first portrait, I told Petty about how one of his songs reminded me of how my girlfriend in college was stolen from me by famed rock and roll photographer Jim Marshall. I told Tom that I said to her, “You sound like that Tom Petty song, ‘So you think you’re going to take her away, with your money and your cocaine.’ ” That’s exactly what he did. Tom started laughing through a smile. It was the second of many smiles that afternoon.
He sat on a wrought-iron bench surrounded by greenery. He held his guitar gently like a father holds a child. He started strumming and singing something that I couldn’t quite make out. I was hoping for the song “Breakdown,” but I didn’t throw out that cliched request.

I made my last portrait of him in his studio against a backdrop of guitars. The late-afternoon light was spilling in behind him. While making my last frames, he swiveled on the stool the sunlight gave his guitar a heavenly glow. He accented the photo with another smile.

He went into the next room and sat on a couch, where Lewis would interview him for the last time.

Before I left, Petty said it was great to meet me. I reached out and shook his hand. These are the rare times when a journalist becomes a fan. “Thanks for all the amazing music,” I said. “Your songs have been the musical landscape of my life. Thank you.” I wished him continued success and creativity and that I looked forward to his next album. He followed my comment with the best smile of the afternoon.

That one I captured with my mind’s eye is the one I’ll forever carry with me.

Есть ли информация - Том начинал какой-либо проект после Hypnotic Eye?
Или этому альбому суждено считаться последним?

Tom Petty Final Days Wracked With Pain & Torment: Rocker ‘Knew He Was Going To Die’
Ailing singer was 'far sicker than anyone thought or suspected,' claims source.

Tom Petty Dispatch Audio
Ailing Tom Petty spent his final days wracked with pain and depressed, knowing he was facing the final curtain, close pals reveal to RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“Tom was far sicker than anyone thought or suspected,” revealed a source. “He was ready to die!
The “Damn the Torpedoes” rocker — who passed away at age 66 on Oct. 2 after suffering a massive heart attack — needed vitamin shots to boost his energy, and was set for hip replacement surgery, insiders said.
After being a hardcore road warrior for most of his 40-plus-year career, Petty was forced to cancel three shows in late August because he was too ill to take the stage!
“I don’t think I’ve missed a show in many, many years,” he sadly admitted in his final interview.

Petty — lead singer of the Heartbreakers and co-founder of the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys — had been “too frail” and worked himself “too hard” during his final tour, sources told Radar.

“Tom hadn’t been doing well for a while, and when the band got back from London, he seemed to be on his last legs,” spilled a longtime friend.

The singer’s dire health made performing difficult, and he needed regular injections to even muster the strength to perform, insiders revealed.
“Back in the ’90s, Tom had a very bad heroin habit, and it left him with muscle and bone pain,” tattled a source. “Recently, Tom had to be given vitamin B12 shots — 30 or 40 units a day — just to give him the energy to perform! Tom was in severe pain. He was due to have a hip replacement and was exhausted from working his butt off…His family begged him to rest up, but he vowed to finish the tour for his fans.”

When Tom took the stage for the final time at the Hollywood Bowl on Sept. 25, he considered it his farewell to loyal followers, insiders said.

“Tom knew there wouldn’t be any more shows,” a source confessed. “He wanted to go out on top. He blew the place away!”
When the concert ended, insiders revealed, he was in a virtual state of collapse.

“Tom left it all on stage,” the source spilled. “Unfortunately, it cost him his life!”
Just days later, on Oct. 1, Tom’s second wife, Dana, frantically called 911 at around 10:50 p.m. after finding him unconscious on the floor of their Malibu home.

After being told the singer wasn’t breathing, the dispatcher began talking her through performing CPR.

Dana got him breathing “very shallow breaths,” and was told to stop the CPR, roll Tom onto his left side, and wait for paramedics.

The three-time Grammy Award winner was taken to UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica and put on life support. He showed no brain activity.

A chaplain was called to administer last rites, and Tom was taken off life support after his family signed a “do not resuscitate” order.

The “Free Fallin’ ” singer was pronounced dead at 8:40 p.m. in the hospital on Oct. 2 surrounded by family, friends and bandmates, said longtime manager Tony Dimitriades.

Последние дни Тома Петти были наполнены болью и мучением — музыкант "знал, что скоро умрёт".

Состояние певца было "намного хуже, чем кто-либо думал или подозревал", - утверждает источник.

Как рассказали RadarOnline.com близкие друзья Тома Петти, он провел последние дни, страдая от боли и депрессии и зная, что конец близок.

"Дела у Тома обстояли намного хуже, чем кто-либо думал или подозревал", - рассказали они. "Он был готов умереть!"
Скончавшийся 2 октября в возрасте 66 лет после остановки серца Том Петти нуждался в витаминах для поддержания энергии, а также готовился к операции по замене тазобедренного сустава. Активно выступая на протяжении большей части своей 40-летней карьеры, Петти был вынужден отменить три шоу в конце августа, потому что был слишком болен, чтобы выйти на сцену!


"Не думаю, что хоть раз за многие годы пропускал концерт", — с грустью отметил Том в своём последнем интервью.

Как сообщили источнику RadarOnline.com, Том Петти — вокалист Heartbreakers и один из основателей супергруппы Traveling Wilburys — был "слишком слаб" и работал слишком "тяжело" во время своего последнего тура.

"У Тома какое-то время практически не было сил; когда группа вернулась из Лондона, он, казалось, был на последнем издыхании", — сообщил давний друг музыканта.

Плохое состояние здоровья певца сделало выступления трудной задачей, и ему были необходимы регулярные инъекции, чтобы просто собрать силы для выступления.

"Ещё в 90-х годах Том пристрастился к героину, и от этого ему досталась боль в мышцах и костях". "В последнее время Тому нужно было до 30-40 доз витамина B12 в день — просто чтобы дать ему энергию для выступления! У Тома была сильная боль. Ему предстояла замена тазобедренного сустава, он был измотан сильной болью в ноге. Его семья просила его отдохнуть, но он поклялся закончить тур ради своих фанатов".

Когда Том вышел на сцену в последний раз 25 сентября, он считал этот концерт своим прощанием с поклонниками сказали инсайдеры.

"Том знал, что выступлений больше не будет", — признались источнику. "Он хотел провести отличный концерт!"
Когда концерт закончился, он был практически в состоянии коллапса. — “Том оставил все на сцене. К сожалению, это стоило ему жизни!"

Всего через несколько дней, 1 октября, вторая жена Тома, Дана, около 10:50 вечера обнаружила его в бессознательном состоянии на полу дома в Малибу. Она набрала номер 911 и сказала, что её муж не дышит. Диспетчер объяснил ей, как провести сердечно-лёгочную реанимацию. Дана сообщила, что Том дышит "очень маленькими вдохами". Диспетчер сказал ей прервать реанимацию, повернуть человека на левый бок и ждать приезда врачей.

Трехкратный обладатель Грэмми был доставлен в Медицинский центр Калифорнийского университета в Санта-Монике и подключен к системе жизнеобеспечения. Активность мозга отсутствовала.

Священник провёл свои обряды, и Том был отключен от системы после того, как семья подписала документ об отказе от дальнейшей реанимации.

Как сообщил менеджер группы Тони Димитриадес, Том Петти скончался в больнице 2 октября в 8.40 вечера в окружении семьи, друзей и коллег по группе.

ну что за чушь... хорошо, что никто из реальных близких людей Тома ничего подобного не говорит.

Про витамины - не могу ни чего сказать, а про героин - это том сам рассказал уже давно.
