American musician (1950-2017)

Tom Petty was born in Gainesville, Florida, and met Elvis on a film set at age ten — a moment that turned him into a lifer. He fronted the Heartbreakers for four decades, moved 80 million records, and died of an accidental overdose in October 2017, just a week after wrapping their final tour. You came back to him that same month after a single stray play earlier in the year, and he's been a recurring presence ever since — mostly Wildflowers and Full Moon Fever, the two records that hold up no matter how much time passes.
