The Tom Petty Estate signs worldwide deal with Warner Chappell. The milestone agreement includes the vast majority of songs written by Petty throughout his lifetime, including enduring hits such as “Free Fallin’,” “Learning to Fly,” “Refugee,” “Here Comes My Girl,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Wildflowers,” “The Waiting,” “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” and dozens more.

In making the announcement, Co-Chair and COO, Carianne Marshall and Co-Chair and CEO, Guy Moot said: “Tom Petty’s music is woven into the fabric of our lives, not just across America, but around the world. He captured the full range and resilience of the human spirit in songs about freedom and dreams, outcasts and rebels, relationships and heartbreak, the personal and the universal. Tom’s unmistakable sound and lyrics remain as timeless and vital today as ever, and all of us at Warner Chappell Music are honored to be joining with his estate to help amplify his extraordinary legacy on a global scale. Their work in recent years has already laid an incredible foundation, and we’re very excited to be partnering with such an innovative and forward-thinking team.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gq4Ap85B #WarnerChappellMusic #WCM
