backed Tom on his fourth LP release of 1974 titled Myopia. Throughout the rest of the 1970s and 1980s, Tom Fogerty continued to record, both solo and as part of the group Ruby. Later, Tom re-signed with Fantasy. At the October 1980 reception for Tom's marriage to Tricia Clapper, all four members of CCR reunited and performed for the first time in a decade. They took the stage once more for a final time at a school reunion three years later. Tom Fogerty lived in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the remainder of his life. Death At some point in the 1980s, Fogerty underwent back surgery, and was given a blood transfusion that was not screened for HIV. This caused him to become infected with the virus and subsequently resulted in his contraction of AIDS alongside his ensuing complications with tuberculosis, all of which eventually led to his death on September 6, 1990. After his death, a music compilation titled The Very Best of Tom Fogerty was released. Fogerty was survived by his second wife Tricia Clapper and six children.
