The Heartbreakerswere formed by Petty in 1976. Their self-titled debut album was released the same year. The breakthrough for the band came when 'Damn The Torpedoes', the band's third album, was released in 1979. The band's last album was released in 2014, called 'Hypnotic Eye'.
Petty also co-founded the 'Travelling Wilburys' with Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison.
