NEW YORK -- Add one of rock 'n' roll's most admired and most uncompromising stars to the list of memoir writers: John Fogerty.
The former frontman for Creedence Clearwater Revival has a deal with Little, Brown and Co., the publisher announced Monday. The book is scheduled for 2014 and is untitled. Fogerty, 67, is known for writing and singing such classics as Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising and for his clashes with band members and record executives.
"I want to tell the story of how I fought -- hard -- to maintain my artistic integrity in the face of opposing forces," Fogerty said in a statement issued through Little, Brown and Co., which in 2010 published Keith Richards' Life.
Creedence Clearwater is regarded as one of the great American rock bands, defying the trend of long jams in the late 1960s and early '70s and turning out an amazing run of top 10 singles.
