About Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers grew out of Mudcrutch, a band Petty, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench played in around Gainesville, Florida, before relocating to Los Angeles. Their self-titled debut arrived in 1976, and 1979's 'Damn the Torpedoes' made them one of the biggest rock acts in America with songs like 'Don't Do Me Like That' and 'Refugee'.
Over the following decades the band added 'The Waiting', 'Learning to Fly' and 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' to a long run of radio staples, and backed Bob Dylan on tour in the mid-1980s. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Petty died in October 2017, shortly after the band finished its 40th anniversary tour.
