John Fogerty To Be Honored With Music For Life Award At 2023 NAMM Show

John Fogerty will be presented with the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) "Music for Life" award at The 2023 NAMM Show on April 13 in Anaheim, California.

The award is the music products, pro audio, and entertainment technology industry's highest honor and is presented in recognition of Fogerty's lifelong contributions to music and commitment to inspiring music makers everywhere.

"John Fogerty is a living example of inspiration and character, as a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and artistic visionary," said NAMM President and CEO Joe Lamond. "When I was 10, my dad brought home the Creedence Clearwater Revival album Green River and said, 'Play like this.' That moment started my own musical journey, and I imagine many walking The NAMM Show floor can say the same thing."

"Honoring him with the Music for Life Award will be a personal highlight for me and a huge privilege for all NAMM members," he added.

This year, Fogerty acquired a majority interest of the worldwide publishing rights of his historic Creedence Clearwater Revival song catalog from Concord, a deal that he hopes will help usher in new "revival" of his most treasured hits.

Earlier this month, he joined Spotify's "Billions Club" with CCR's enduring recording of his song, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain."

Fogerty and his band will be hitting the road in 2023 for "The Celebration Tour."

Eric Clapton, Nick Mason & More Sign Petition Calling For Reversal Of Roger Waters' Concert Ban

Eric Clapton, Nick Mason and many more have signed a petition seeking a reversal of the decision made by officials on the Frankfurt City Council to bar Roger Waters' from performing in the city.

Waters was originally scheduled to play on May 28 at the Festhalle concert hall as part of the "This Is Not a Drill tour."

However, the German city of Frankfurt canceled the concert, accusing Waters of antisemitism.

In a statement announcing the show's cancellation, Frankfurt's municipal government called the former Pink Floyd frontman one of the world's "most widely-known antisemites."

Another concert, set to take place in Munich on May 21, was canceled shortly afterward.

The petition calling for the reversal of the decision was initiated by comedian and political commentator Katie Halper earlier this month.

It has attracted support from several celebrities, including Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello and Soft Machine founder Robert Wyatt.

"The officials vilifying Waters are engaging in a dangerous campaign that purposely conflates criticism of Israel's illegal and unjust policies with antisemitism," a petition summary reads.

More than 10,000 signatures have been collected so far.
