Tom Petty was honored as part of a tribute to a few of the music legends we lost in 2017 at Nashville’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration. Keith Urban headlined the event this year as he did a year ago and he maintained the tribute tradition by honoring Petty and Chris Cornell among others. Just before midnight he embarked on a lengthy medley including many of the greats lost over the last year. To honor Cornell, he kicked off the medley with the opening to “Black Hole Sun” and continued on with sections of Gregg Allman’s “Midnight Rider,” Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” Don Williams’ “Tulsa Time,” and “Back in Black” as a tribute to Malcolm Young of AC/DC. The medley wrapped with a cover of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin.” The new year will be jammed packed for Urban, who is set to headline the Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in April and Stagecoach in Indio, California.
