John Fogerty pulls out of troubled Woodstock 50 festival
CNN(CNN) - John Fogerty has pulled out of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival, according to a report by Variety. According to Variety, representatives for Fogerty -- who performed at the original Woodstock festival as the frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival -- said in a statement that the artist "knows where he will be for the anniversary weekend of Woodstock." The festival, scheduled for August 16 to 18 in New York state, has been plagued by setbacks. Back in April, a marketing firm that was financing the festival opted to pull out, with executives telling festival organizers they were canceling the event. Last month, festival officials announced the scheduled venue for Woodstock 50, Watkins Glen International, had pulled out.
