Tom Leadon, the guitarist who co-founded Mudcrutch with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell and was the brother of Eagles co-founder Bernie Leadon, has died.
He was 70. He died March 22, but no other details were available. Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch guitarist Campbell confirmed the news on social media. “Tom Leadon was my deepest guitar soul brother,” he wrote on Instagram (see the post below). “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.” Born on September 16, 1952, in Rosemount, MN, Leadon was the fourth of 10 children.
His family moved to San Diego when he was 4 and relocated to Florida in 1964. He and Petty first played together as teens in Gainesville before forming Mudcrutch with Campbell, singer Jim Lenahan and drummer Randall Marsh in 1971.
