Turns out one of Tom Petty’s biggest hits was about a celebrity breakup.
The 1985 song “Don’t Come Around Here No More” is about the split between Stevie Nicks and Joe Walsh – inspired by an ‘intense fight’ after a party at Nick’s home.
Nicks used that exact phrase – ‘don’t come around here no more’ – after giving Walsh the boot. Petty would later write the song with Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart after hearing the story.
What are some other songs with interesting backstories?
