American Pie - IceWizard - 01-19-2016 American Pie singer Don McLean has been arrested on a charge of domestic violence assault. The 70-year-old was been released from Knox County Jail after posting $10,000 (£7,007) bail. McLean, who lives in Camden, Maine, had a 1971 hit with American Pie, about the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper in a plane crash. It was reported that McLean was held after police were called to a property at 02:00 local time on Monday. He is set to appear at the Knox County Unified Court, Rockland, on 22 February. The US singer-songwriter has amassed more than 40 gold and platinum records worldwide during his career. He is understood to have last performed at a local lobster festival in August. RE: American Pie - dupree - 01-20-2016 Love that song, great poetry too. Unbelievable that at age 70 he went balistic or something. Probably more to the story than we're hearing/reading.
