Chris Stapleton Pays Tribute to Tom Petty with an Amazing Cover of ‘Learning To Fly’
Last week while in concert in Illinois, Chris Stapleton paid tribute to late rock icon, Tom Petty; covering "Learning To Fly.”
“We played with Tom Petty earlier this year,” Stapleton tells the crowd. “And last thing he said to me was I hope we get an opportunity to do this again. And I left there thinking we might. I sure am sad we’re not going to get to.”
