Petty Considers Rock Band

Rocker TOM PETTY is considering adding his name to a new Rock Band video game - but he’ll never allow his music to be used in commercials.

The I Won’t Back Down hitmaker admits he’s on board for fronting a new Rock Band, which enables gamers to play along with his hits.

He says, “If we want this music to be accepted by coming generations, it might be a necessity.”

But Petty tells Parade magazine that doesn’t mean he’s about to relax his rules on using his tunes in commercials: “A lot of younger groups want to be on commercials, but I don’t.”
