Legendary musician Stu Cook, renowned as the bass guitarist for the iconic band Creedence Clearwater Revival, has parted ways with his stunning waterfront property in Florida. The 80-year-old artist sold the Sarasota home for $7.5 million, a notable drop from the original price tag of $9.97 million when it first hit the market last year.
The new owner of this exquisite residence is Myron Robbins, associated with Buffalo Management Group. Property records reveal that Cook and his wife, Diana, initially purchased the home in 2013 for $2.95 million. The property had most recently been listed at $7.87 million before the sale.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, achieved fame with their politically charged anthems during the Vietnam era. Hits like “Bad Moon Rising,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” and “Down on the Corner” captured the spirit of the time, although the band is also remembered for its tumultuous split.
