Tom Petty’s daughter Annakim Violette Petty wrote on Instagram following his death, “When friends bring pizza weed and movies at midnight i love u peeps???.” She also shared some of her favorite lyrics her father wrote.
She wrote last night just before he passed, “One week ago today I was watching my dad play?we showed up rushed to our seats?I got stoned had a beer the lights went dark?sat watching realizing I grew up on these songs?everyone grew up on these songs???this is real American Art made from the roots of real people who deeply love life??my father loves music more than anything and always put music first?it’s going to be healing to know I will never go a day without hearing his music?I love his class honesty and how strange and funny he is?Tom Petty is an American Icon because his heart has always put human rights first. We are one?I love you dad your songs are dreams manifested ?⚡️”
“Bad ass mother f⚡️️cker we love u! Magical human”
“He made all his dreams real ⚡️”
“I love you my angel ?”
