Tom Petty is dead.

However, the truth has been mysteriously hidden from the public through the use of look- and sound-alikes. Mr. Petty's plight is best explained by an expert in the field:

"Sad but true, one of the most successful artists of the 70's and 80's is dead. In fact, the Tom Petty we all grew to know and love was not who he seemed at all. You see, shortly after Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were signed to their record deal, but before the first album was released, Tom Petty slipped into an unexplained coma where he stayed for most of the decade."

But, how did Tom fall into the coma which eventually took his life?

That is the question this page seeks to answer. The story of the cover-up itself, the massive lyrical evidence, and other details surrounding it are thoroughly explored at Dr. Lavery's Official "Tom Petty is Dead" Page.
