John Fogerty Fan Dies at Australian Music Festival Minutes Before Rocker's Set

A music festival in Australia was marred Saturday, April 7 by the death of a female concertgoer mere minutes before John Fogerty was due onstage, Contact Music reports.

The 49-year-old woman suffered cardiac arrest in the Mojo Stage tent of the Byron Bay Bluesfest, and while paramedics rushed to resuscitate her, their efforts were unsuccessful.

As a result, the Creedence Clearwater Revival singer took the stage 20 minutes late, though he still treated fans to a full two-hour set.

"It has really hit everybody hard," said Brendan Meek, the festival's venue manager, "but she was at a place she loved. She came to Bluesfest every year."
