This JUST off the wire... Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are taking a little longer than anticipated to finish their new album, Mojo, and have rescheduled several early dates of the accompanying tour, including May 16 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, which is now scheduled for September 24. All tickets for May 16 will be honored at the new date, although Joe Cocker may or may not still be around to open the show.

We'll let the Live Nation release take it from here...
