Tom Petty, a songwriter who melded California rock with a deep, stubborn Southern heritage, died on Monday after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 66 and had lived in Los Angeles. Recording with the #Heartbreakers, the band he formed in the mid-1970s, and on his own, #TomPetty wrote pithy, hardheaded songs that gave 1960s roots a contemporary polish. His voice was grainy and unpretty, with a Florida drawl that he never hid. His music was a staple of rock radio through decades, and he sold millions of albums and headlined arenas and festivals well into 2017. But his songs stayed down-to-earth, with sturdy guitar riffs carrying lyrics that spoke for underdogs and outcasts. In his 1989 hit, “I Won’t Back Down,” he sang, “You can stand me up at the gates of hell/But I won’t back down.” There was scrappy defiance in both his lyrics and his career choices. “I turned anger into ambition,” he told one interviewer. “Any sort of injustice would outrage me. I couldn’t contain myself.” Visit nytimes.com to read our full obituary for Tom Petty, who was photographed here in 2010 by @chadbatka.
