I went to find a story about his death, no one is yet confirming anything other that a mass heart attack it seems. I went to a story in "People.com", A pretty nice write up, but I am pretty ticked that the top video that plays while you are trying to read about Tom Petty is a stupid bit about Jane Fonda and Plastic surgery at 79.
Okay that rant part done. I really like his duet with Stevie Nicks "Stevie Nicks - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"

It was the Rolling Stone and Billboard reports that made me believe the reports were true. This morning, other reputable news sites have further confirmed it.

@sneak, On checking this morning, I've found I was indeed right. The sources I checked with last night (Billboard and Rolling Stone Magazine among others) may have been the first to confirm the report.
This was reported Here Rolling Stone website at around 10pm UK time. I posted my report at around midnight UK time.
Reporting the news as soon as it breaks, with the full details to hand is important. I did check multiple sources and your comment could have been a little more positively delivered.

He hasn't passed, but he did have a heart attack. Someone mis-reported and the media didn't check properly.

That's a relief! I think we lost so many talented artists last year that we shouldn't lose any more for at least a decade!

From what I've read, it seemed that the initial reports were premature, but he did later pass :-(

Reading between the lines, it would seem perhaps someone leaked the news that he'd died before an official statement was made and that's where the confusion lay.
His daughter seemed really angry that people knew (I cannot blame her).

Yup, that's correct.
The media has become largely useless. They only want to be first. Accuracy is way down the priority list.
