While mourning the loss of bandmate Tom Petty’s death, The Heartbreakers’ keyboardist Benmont Tench has announced that he’s still set to play his upcoming solo show at Largo in Los Angeles.
In a recent Instagram post, Tench thanked fans for the love and support he’s received recently. He then explained that after putting much thought into whether he should play the Largo show, he eventually decided that you just don’t stop playing music.

While he doesn’t plan on making this show an official tribute to Petty, he does admit that just about everything he’s played since he was a teen has a tinge of Petty’s influence.
The show goes on Saturday, October 28 at Largo in Los Angeles.
