Petty has been supported by his band, the Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as is the case with his most recent effort, 2006's Highway Companion, on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums. Petty has had the same manager, Tony Dimitriades, since 1976. On February 3rd 2008, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLII Halftime show.
