Springsteen’s tribute follows similar accolades from Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson.
Dylan said: “It’s shocking, crushing news. I thought the world of Tom. He was great performer, full of the light, a friend, and I’ll never forget him.”
Sending love to Tom Petty and his family at this difficult time.

I’m heartbroken to hear about Tom Petty. Tom was a hell of a songwriter and record-maker. He will be missed by everyone who loves music. L&M
