    Also from that link: "UPDATE: We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support. "

    can't be made fun of Prestigious

    I had a chance to go to Mountain Jam and see him headline with The Heartbreakers but life got in the way. What a bummer. A bonafide legend.

    I did research on recovery from brain injury from instances like this, signs are not good unfortunately.

    EDIT: Just saw someone posted life support was pulled. Rough.

    Was able to see him with Steve Winwood at MSG in 2007. Incredible show.
