Gary Miller/Getty ImagesTom Petty was rushed to the hospital on Sunday night, and his current condition is unknown.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff station in Malibu confirms to ABC News that the LA County Fire Department transported Petty, 66, from his home in Malibu, CA to UCLA Medical Center at 10:50 p.m. Sunday night.
TMZ reports that Petty was found unconscious and in full cardiac arrest. While various other outlets have reported that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has died, that has not yet been confirmed. TMZ says those reports are inaccurate; according to the website, the family has a “Do Not Resucitate” order on Petty, and he is still “clinging to life.”
Petty, 66, wrapped up his 40th anniversary tour with the Heartbreakers September 25 in L.A. Petty posted a video and message to his Facebook page a few days later saying, “Thanks to everyone for supporting us for the last 40 years! Without YOU, there’d be no US!”
