After a long battle in court, John Fogerty finally claimed back the rights to his timeless classics with Creedence Clearwater Revival in January. Judging by his recent tweet, the legendary guitarist and songwriter, who is now in control of his artistic vision, is ready to step back into the spotlight and deliver unforgettable performances to his fans.
This winter, good news keeps rolling in for John Fogerty and CCR fans. For those who’ve been following Fogerty’s journey, you know that he’s been locked in a legal battle with Saul Zaentz for decades. Yet finally, after more than 50 years, John regained control of his musical legacy and took back the rights to his iconic songs. From ‘Proud Mary’ to ‘Bad Moon Rising,’ John now has the majority interest in publishing rights and can make decisions about how and where his songs will be used.
The details of the deal are confidential, but what’s important is that the singer is now in charge of his musical legacy and can keep on rocking. This marks the end of a long and tiring battle for Fogerty and means he can finally do what he does best – perform his classic hits for fans all around the world. Judging by his latest post on Twitter, he has already started preparations for it.
He took his Twitter to announce:
“We are eager to get back on the stage… It’s the nights like these that make us love what we do! Your energy, passion, and love for our music have been the driving force behind every show. We can’t wait to hit the road and see you all soon! Tour dates are coming soon!”

But this time will be different, as the time has finally come for Fogerty to reunite with his musical legacy.
