The Heartbreakers still tour regularly and continue to make and record albums. They have gone through numerous line up changes between 1982 and 2002, with
Tench, Petty and Campbell being the only members consistently in the band from when it first started.
Petty has fought against his record company on more than one occasion, first in 1976 over transference to another label and then again in 1981 over the price of his
record, which was (at that time) considered expensive. He is also outspoken on the current state of the music industry and modern radio stations.
Although Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have not released an album since 2002, the three founding members, along with Randall Marsh and Tom Leadon recorded
an album by Mudcrutch. This was the band's first album, made more significant by the fact that they had not recorded together since 1974.
