Legendary singer Bob Dylan has paid tribute to his Traveling Wilburys bandmate Tom Petty.
Petty passed away at the age of 66 after suffering cardiac arrest.
"It's shocking, crushing news. I thought the world of Tom. He was great performer, full of the light, a friend, and I'll never forget him," Dylan said in a statement issued to Rolling Stone.
In 1988, Petty and Dylan co-founded supergroup the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison. They released two records together: 'Traveling Wilburys Vol 1' in 1988 and, after Orbison's death, 'Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3' in 1990.
Petty recently concluded a 40th anniversary tour with his band The Heartbreakers. The final date took place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on September 22.
