A lot of people don't know this, but Tom Petty had a considerable part in the move "Waterworld" ( 1995 ) a.k.a "Fishtar", etc. but still a popular cult film.
Anyway his scenes were all deleted in copies that came out after the first releases on VHS, not sure what happened, have not seen an in-depth article. But the movie is way too long to begin with and TP didn't really add much to the film as I recall.
Salient point being how unhealthy TP looked in that film. There is a 1980 concert film in which he looks really young. What happened in 15 years. Some people burn the candle at both ends and I guess TP smoked cigarettes. Anyway, he completed his last big Tour, which I guess takes a lot out of most performers. Sad to see him gone, and only 2 years older than me sheesh.
