California, USA

It has been heartbreaking to witness the devastation from the wildfires in the Los Angeles area. It is hard to begin to know where to help. We have strong ties to and love this community. And Tom and his family had the experience of losing everything in a fire. The Tom Petty.

We believe strongly in common sense gun laws. Tom was a gun owner who believed we all have a responsibility to ensure guns are used safely and sensibly. He said it publicly and wrote it in songs. None of us want to live in a country where our children arenât safe.

Tom counted David Crosby as a friend and a hero. He visited often at his house in the valley. He was funny, provocative and electric with talent. His contribution to music will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and love to his family, bandmates and fans.
