Tom Leadon, Co-Founder of Mudcrutch Band With Tom Petty, Dies at 71

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tom Leadon, a singer and guitarist best known for co-founding the band Mudcrutch with Tom Petty in the early ’70s and participating in a high-profile reunion beginning in 2008, died March 22 at age 71. The death was publicly revealed Monday. No cause of death was given but a post from Petty’s official fan club attributed it to “natural causes.” “Tom Leadon was my deepest guitar soul brother,” wrote Mike Campbell, a fellow member of Mudcrutch across the decades, on Twitter. “We spent countless hours playing acoustic guitars and teaching each other things. A kinder soul never walked the earth. I will always miss his spirit and generosity. Sleep peacefully my old friend.”
