Last October, we lost rock ‘n’ roll icon Tom Petty. Tomorrow night, head to Mid City Ballroom to honor his life at Petty in Pink, a tribute concert featuring local musicians.
Petty was one of the best-selling musicians of all time, selling more than 80 million records worldwide. He was a part of bands Mudcrutch and The Traveling Wilburys, but he was best known as the lead singer of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Hits like “I Won’t Back Down,” “American Girl,” “Free Fallin'” and “Wildflowers” captured the nation. Throughout his career, he was awarded three Grammys, three MTV Video Music Awards, the Billboard Century Award and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
