Tom Petty Gives His Last Interview

Tom Petty’s recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine will be his last, with the singer declaring he will no longer be talking to the press.

The 55-year-old, who has already indicated that he will not continue to perform after his upcoming tour with The Heartbreakers, told Rolling Stone, “This is the last interview I am doing, because I have to live life. I can’t spend every day fulfilling the needs of the label of the media in order to promote the record. I love the record and I really care about it, but there is a point (during interviews) where you start to not like yourself”.

Petty’s new album, ‘Highway Companion’, will be released at the end of July.
