It's on Facebook

I'm not believing this until official word comes out from the Irish press.

It's from the Santa Monica Observer. How are they privy to that information? Smells like fake news to me.

there is still no official confirmation that it was an OD. This story was false and run with fake dates and then other sites picked it up, there could be an official cause later today it was is truthfully being said by those involved but there is no official news yet.

Which is the official spreader of fake news.

I just contacted the Santa Monica Observer and the man who answered the phone was very rude to me. When I asked them why they are posting fake news about Dolores O'Riordan's death, he hung up on me. The Staff Writer's name is Stan Greene. The number I called was (310) 452-9900.

.

There needs to be a Stop Fake News Movement, because this shit is getting out of control. These scumbag news outlets posting this trash give a bad name to people who are actually professional writers who give the facts!!

.

The official cause of death has not been released yet. If you want accurate news, I check the Irish Times, not this piece of trash, Santa Monica Observer!!

Oh yea, and they also mentioned Prince and Tom Petty died of Fentanyl overdose too!! Tom Petty.... Really??

Yes Tom Petty too. This story sounds all to familiar.

Our family sat together this morning with the Medical Examiner – Coroner’s office and we were informed of their final analysis that Tom Petty passed away due to an accidental drug overdose as a result of taking a variety of medications.

Unfortunately Tom’s body suffered from many serious ailments including emphysema, knee problems and most significantly a fractured hip.

Despite this painful injury he insisted on keeping his commitment to his fans and he toured for 53 dates with a fractured hip and, as he did, it worsened to a more serious injury.

On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full on break and it is our feeling that the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause for his over use of medication.

We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues including Fentanyl patches and we feel confident that this was, as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident.

As a family we recognize this report may spark a further discussion on the opioid crisis and we feel that it is a healthy and necessary discussion and we hope in some way this report can save lives. Many people who overdose begin with a legitimate injury or simply do not understand the potency and deadly nature of these medications.

On a positive note we now know for certain he went painlessly and beautifully exhausted after doing what he loved the most, for one last time, performing live with his unmatchable rock band for his loyal fans on the biggest tour of his 40 plus year career. He was extremely proud of that achievement in the days before he passed.

We continue to mourn with you and marvel at Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' incredible positive impact on music and the world. And we thank you all for your love and support over the last months.

Thank you also for respecting the memory of a man who was truly great during his time on this planet both publicly and privately.

We would be grateful if you could respect the privacy of the entire Heartbreaker family during this difficult time.

My husband saw it last night and told me about Tom Petty and I was like WTF??!!

.

I'm glad his family released Tom Petty's cause of death, and are bringing awareness to the epidemic of opioid use.

.

When I read the story that Tom Petty performed 50 concerts with a fractured hip.....WTF?

.

I had no idea he had so many health issues, and emphesyma too.

.

Really sad and tragic. We are losing all the great artists of our time.

Well, those assclowns at the Santa Monica Observer updated their story about Dolores O'Riordan. Now, they revised what they initially said to read her cause of death has not been officially announced.

Like my Momma used to say "You gotta nip it in the bud!"

.

Just so tired of these news outlets putting out misinformation before the facts are out, just because they are desperate for clicks. It's been done too much with Prince, and it's still very raw for me.

Apple of my Eye.....

As the days go by
The apple of my eye
I'll always wait for you

And as a new day dawns
The darkness moves away
And I will wait for you

Remember, remember
The face of you
Surrender, surrender
The touch of you

Well it's hard to hold
The room is turning cold
The candle flickers still

And what I would not do
For the love of you
Would you hold on to me?

Remember, remember
The face of you
Surrender, surrender
The touch of you

.

I will remember you.

I still can't believe she's gone. Her beautiful children are left without their Mother. Dolores was so close to her Mom; I can't imagine how heartbroken she is right now.
