The estate of Tom Petty is in the middle of an estate battle.
Family conflict can be rekindled with the death of a mutual loved one.
Such seems to be the case with the surviving family members of Tom Petty.
According to a recent iHeartRadio article titled “Tom Petty's Widow, Daughters Battling Over His Estate,” the conflict involves the “artistic property” of Tom Petty.
His widow and his daughters are at odds.
Dana York Petty wanted to include unreleased tracks onto a 25th anniversary Wildflower album.
The two daughters of Tom from previous marriages are putting up a fight.
They claim his artistic property was to be jointly managed as a team by them and Dana.
The unreleased songs are of special interest to his fans.
Why?
Petty had originally planned for Wildflowers to be a double album.
His record label convinced him to cut songs.
These songs were something he wanted to share with the world.
Family conflict may delay this dream a bit longer.
