Don McLean Announces ‘American Pie’ 50th Anniversary World Tour
The tour kicks off January 28 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Don McLean has announced details of a 2022 world tour celebrating 50 years of his iconic hit “American Pie.”
Next year marks half a century since the song hit No.1 on the US Billboard charts alongside the album of the same name.
To celebrate, McLean and his band will play a run of shows throughout 2022, beginning in Hawaii in late January and heading through North America before heading to the UK and Europe.
“After spending the past 18 months at home, I am thrilled to be getting back on the road with my band,” McLean said in a statement.
“2022 marks the 50th anniversary from when ‘American Pie’ landed at the No.1 spot on the Billboard chart and we will be celebrating on tour all year long. We will be performing all the songs from the American Pie album plus many of the other hits that fans will be expecting to hear.”
In 2002, the song was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame. In 2015, McLean’s manuscript of the lyrics to “American Pie” were auctioned by Christies, selling for just over $1.2 Million. McLean has performed the song for numerous dignities including President Clinton at the Lincoln Memorial Gala in Washington D.C.
