Tom Petty Died

Rocker Tom Petty died Monday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, according to Tony Dimitriades, longtime manager of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Dimitriades confirmed Petty's death on behalf of the performer's family.

He was 66.

"He suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu in the early hours of this morning and was taken to UCLA Medical Center but could not be revived. He died peacefully at 8:40pm PT surrounded by family, his bandmates and friends," Dimitriades said in a statement.

The group finished a summer tour with three performances at the Hollywood Bowl last week.

Petty and the Heartbreakers first came to fame in the 1970s. It was both with that group and as a solo artist that Petty had a string of hits across the decades, including "Free Fallin'," "American Girl" and "I Won't Back Down."

The reporter did well on giving the who, what, when, what and why in the first paragraph. He gave good detail about Tom Petty's death. Also the reporter used diction and a proper word choice to send out the "peaceful" death. 

The reporter did a great job. One because he covered Tom Petty (the greatest artist alive) and he did a great job on recapping his life.

I definitely will not be learning from this and you cannot force this into my brain.

I am not a leader.
