As of 30 minutes ago he’s still alive.

His poor daughter is understandably very upset with Rolling Stone, who she says broke the story.

Yep. I’m getting stories he’s still alive. Only just though from what I can gather.

it is interesting to see and hear reactions, I've always liked and enjoyed TP but others have been less enthusiastic it always seemed.  The catalog is quite impressive, wish I had seen him live at some point, a regret for sure.

RIP

Saw him live a few times.  First one was in the very early 90's (hell might have been the late 80's) and as recently a few years ago.  Always fantastic.  Last American rocker.

I saw him when he and the Heartbreakers toured with Dylan. He and the band did their own short set in the middle. They were terrific.

Springsteen?  The guy who looks like he's constipated everytime he sings?  Hate him.  I like one song he sings out of his entire catalog ('Trapped' Live) and thats it.  Cant stand Springsteen.  He's a political BS spouter too.  All the more reasons to dislike him.
