I have loved Tom Petty since I was a kid. This love comes from my father. Growing up he always played your albums. Two years ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer. He had radiation and at the moment is cancer free!! =) This man is the love of my life, I have no idea what I would do without my father. Well, a few days ago we got to talking about bands we like, concerts, and such. I was completely surprised that my father has NEVER attended a concert (he's 65, but you would think he's 35 ha ha)!! He went on to say the only concert he would love to go to would be a Tom Petty concert =) So please, please I beg of you let me surprise my dad with some Tom Petty concert tickets... it would mean the world to us both!! Sooo, that means you have to come to Cleveland or Pittsburgh so I can make that happen!!! Thanks and keep on playin that awesome music!!!!
Tom Petty fan club Istanbul
Hey Tom and Heartbreakers,
I taught English to young adult Turkish students in Istanbul. I often used your songs for English listening lessons, as I love your music and your diction is clear and understandable. My students loved you soooooo much that we started an unofficial fan club.
I honor and appreciate you all for getting me through the hard times with just the message I needed. Praise and blessings always.

Great to see Tom and the band in Europe. But why no dates in Spain? Dylan has played in Alicante and Valencia in recent years. Great shows. Surely something can be arranged for TP and the Heartbreakkers to get down here as well.
