the Echo album is underrated and I remember when he tried to let one of the songs be downloaded free. That was crazy stuff back then.

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, I ain't comin' down

Tom Petty's cause of death revealed by his family
Tom Petty Died From Accidental Drug Overdose Involving Opioids, Coroner Says

Tom Petty’s system showed traces of fentanyl and oxycodone,
among others. A statement from his family said he was prescribed
“various pain medications for a multitude of issues.”

Tom Petty, the chart-topping singer and songwriter, died in October from an accidental
drug overdose as a result of mixing medications that included opioids,
the medical examiner-coroner for the county of Los Angeles announced on Friday,
ending the mystery surrounding his sudden death last year.
The coroner, Jonathan Lucas, said that Mr. Petty’s system showed traces of the drugs
fentanyl,
oxycodone,
temazepam,
alprazolam,
citalopram,
acetyl fentanyl
and despropionyl fentanyl.
Barely a week after Mr. Petty, 66, had concluded a tour with his band, the Heartbreakers,
with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl, representatives said the singer had suffered cardiac arrest
at his home in Malibu, Calif. on Oct. 2.
But Mr. Petty’s official death certificate, released about a week later,
listed his cause of death as “deferred” pending an autopsy.
In a statement posted to Mr. Petty’s Facebook page on Friday, his wife, Dana,
and daughter, Adria, wrote that Mr. Petty suffered from “many serious ailments
including emphysema, knee problems and most significantly a fractured hip,”
but that he continued to tour, worsening his conditions. “On the day he died he was
informed his hip had graduated to a full on break and it is our feeling that the pain was
simply unbearable and was the cause for his over use of medication,” the statement said.
They said: “We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues including Fentanyl patches and we feel confident that this was,
as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident.”
