Creedence Clearwater Revival songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist John Fogerty will celebrate his 81st birthday in 2026 and will continue to tour. So far, he has scheduled shows in Las Vegas in January, will return there in March and will also travel to Mexico to perform at the Vive Latino Festival.
In 2023, Fogerty finally regained the rights to his songs, which for decades had been owned by Fantasy Records, a label controlled by Saul Zaentz. In 2025, he released “Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years”, an album in which he re-recorded some of the biggest hits from his time with the band.

Current relationship with former Creedence bandmates
Now that he is at peace with that, Fogerty talked with CBS Sunday Morning about that era of the band and his current relationship with his former bandmates Stu Cook (Bass) and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford (Drums). From 1995 to 2020 they toured around the world as Creedence Clearwater Revisited, playing the songs of the band.
“Yeah, I think so (that I’m at peace with Creedence). It depends on what you may mean by that. The way I accept it as inevitable…laughing at myself now, I have been sued innumerable times by my former bandmates, let me put it that way. Sometimes it was actually my brother Tom, but after he passed, even his widow joined with Doug (Clifford) and Stu (Cook) and sued me.”
“It’s ironic that 80-year-old people are still suing each other. So if you mean at peace that way, I just accept all those things as kind of inevitable. That’s all. It’s not surprising anymore,” John Fogerty said.
