Hello
@elliegoulding
... Vincent is not an easy song to sing and you sing it very beautifully. Please know that I am deeply touched by your remarks about me and my song...it helps me carry on. Best wishes - Don McLean
Tonight I had the honor of performing with 3 of my favorite artists. Roger Daltrey, Ed Sheeran, and Van Morrison. They are the finest artists and the finest people I have met in this business.
This is an honor I get to share with friends, fans, & whoever walks down Hollywood Boulevard. Thank you to Home Free, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Hollywood Walk of Fame/ Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for this great honor.

@HollywoodArea
Just listened to
@jamesblake
version of my song ‘Vincent’ and I’m struck but what an extraordinarily good musician he is. His singing and piano playing are superb.. Thank you James for recording my song so beautifully.
This year is the 50th anniversary of my song “American Pie”. To commemorate that milestone, the guys of
@HomeFreeGuys
have created a new version of the song with me. Get it Friday and pre-save now at
Incredible Kelly Clarkson! I truly enjoyed watching this!

Alex asked if I would come and sing for him & his Jeopardy family at his annual Christmas party last year. I was on his “bucket list” he told me.
It was at a lovely Italian restaurant near his home.
Although I was not affected, my band, management, and publicist all live in Nashville so I have asked them to go buy bottled water and deliver it to the shelters. I encourage everyone to help where they can.

I can’t believe it’s 50 years to the day when American Pie was released. They say time flies when you’re having fun & I guess that’s right. I’ve had a fabulous life in music & the arts & got to see the world all because of that wonderful album & the many that followed.
Wow, we filmed the opening 3 weeks ago and I knew it was gonna be magnificent. But to see Tyson win and then sing the song with 95,000 people there. This is an incredible night for Tyson and I.

We just completed an Australian / New Zealand tour of almost 7 weeks and I wanted to give special thanks to my long time road manager and friend John McIvor who has guided me and my musicians through many tours in the last 15 years. He is truly indispensable.

in which, he wanted me to stick to. I, of course, obliged and told him it was his show and I would do whatever he wanted me to. I kept that setlist and here it is today!
U.K. fans please listen to my BBC radio 4 American Pie “Master Tapes” show broadcast in two parts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This was recorded during my concert tour earlier this year. I wish you all a beautiful Christmas season.
Anyone who knew Alex would know what a stickler he was about timing. When I arrived at the restaurant, I told Alex what I was planning on performing & without hesitation, Alex pulled out a sheet of paper that he hand wrote my songs on with their lengths....
Thank you Peter Bradly Jr & the Buddy Holly Educational Foundation for the presentation of this beautiful commemorative guitar. I will treasure it always. - Don McLean
He was elegant & dignified as you saw him on television. Old school for sure & someone who we all can learn from. I thought of him often afterwards & I’ll think of him in the future & maybe try to be a little more like him. May he Rest In Peace - Don McLean
Here I am with Quentin T backstage at the Saban in Beverly Hills. He said “And I Love You So” was the song he and his bride to be liked the best. I’m really glad he won a
#GoldenGlobe
and hope the
#Oscars
are next.
We planned the show & he apologized for his red complexion which he said the medications gave him. It was a joyous & sad occasion & I was very touched that my music was that important to him. There was not the slightest hint of self pity or weakness in this man.
The BBC Classic Albums American Pie documentary is now available in the US on Amazon Prime. British fans can still catch last week's BBC 4 broadcast on the iPlayer.

's 'American Pie' is a classic hit in the folk-rock genre and inspired Madonna. This is the heartbreaking story behind the song.
