News of singer John Fogerty’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However, the August 2025 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman is alive and well.

I love rock and roll!
Credence never quite was my favorite.
I’m more (Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd).
However they entertained a generation
and I’m glad the man is still alive.

So, he’s not dead.

He’s just the Old Man Down the Road.

Willie understands this...

Still Not Dead
Willie Nelson

“I woke up still not dead again today
The internet said I had passed away
If I died I wasn’t dead to stay
And I woke up still not dead again today”

I once phoned a Christian radio station and asked them if they had any songs by Christian Cross Revival.

Like Proud Mary.
Fortunate Son.
Walk on the Water.

They said they never heard of the band.

I learned a long time ago; those pop-up blurbs were just click bait.

He is 80 and still has his own hair. I think it’s his.

As an aside, Fogerty was one of the greatest rock and rollers evah! Huge fan here. He did 99% of the work. The other band members (including his brother) simply showed up for rehearsal to practice the songs that John wrote/arranged.

And to add insult to injury, the music biz back then was set up for the suits and John didn't even have the rights to his music.

IIRC, he was even sued for professionally singing some of his own music years later?

Anyway, the music game sucked for the artists.
