The video will accompany a new song released from ‘An American Treasure’ – a boxset of largely unreleased material out in September.
Tom Petty fans are being asked to submit their own videos and photos for inclusion in a new music video.
The video will be for a song taken from ‘An American Treasure’, a box set of unreleased material and the first to be released since Petty passed away in October 2017 aged 66 from an accidental drug overdose.
The album, due for release on September 28, will feature a mammoth 60 songs and will also feature new versions of classic songs alongside historic live performances.
Fans are now being asked to submit their own photos and videos of the band which can include a picture taken with Petty, a favourite video moment taken during a live show or any other special picture memories fans have taken of the band.
A statement on the late musician’s website said: “We are making a very special music video in honor of Tom Petty and his profound 40-year relationship with his fans, and we would love for you to help us.”
“We invite you to share your favorite moment with Tom and the band for possible inclusion in this video, such as a picture you took with Tom, a favorite video moment from a show, or any expression of love for the band that you have photographed and cherished.”
