TOM PETTY, DEAD AT 66.

ICHEOKU says the only thing sadder than his dying is that he died at literally a wrong time; when instead of being the news, he is now consigned to a mere footnote news, forced to side step for a more newsy news, the mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

But no one chooses when they die and like with all things mortal, it was as destined. Tom Petty, 66, a rock icon, died of cardiac arrest on a day Americans woke up to yet another sad news of a mass shooting, this time in Las Vegas, Nevada, where a lunatic millionaire opened fire on a country music festival, killing so many people. This sad incident somehow eclipsed the passing of a great man, a rock legend who achieved greatness as of his own right. 

The rock world will surely miss Tom Petty who commanded a huge presence on the rock n roll stage and went on to sell over 80 million records during his playing career which spanned several decades. ICHEOKU's favorites among his many songs include: 'I Wont Back Down; Free Fallin; Breakdown; Don't Come Around No More, Refugee, Runnin Down A Dream and Learning To Fly' just to mention a few. ICHEOKU says adieu Mr Rocker.
