Hear Tom Petty unreleased song “For Real” and touching video made by daughter

Last year, Adria, daughter of Tom Petty, entered the studio with Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell to revisit some of his father’s materials. “For Real”, track recorded in 2000 but never released, caught her attention.

According to her, “For Real” explains why Petty chose to live on music and she chose to give the band a beautiful video with a compilation of images of the singer.

“I cried a lot during the editing,” Adria revealed. Her father Tom Petty passed away at age 66 on October 2, 2017 after suffering an overdose of drugs.

Watch the video below:
