Don McLean Celebrates 50 Years Of ‘American Pie’ With UK Tour
‘American Pie’ was named by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA) a top five song of the 20th Century.
Don McLean’s much loved American Pie album is turning 50 this year, and in celebration, Don has announced a massive European tour which begins in the UK in September of 2022.
In 1971, Don McLean released “American Pie” as a double-A single and it charted within a month. Interest from the media and public sent the single to No.1 in the U.S. and Don to international stardom. Despite decades of attempted interpretations, Don has always remained enigmatic as to the song’s meaning.
Now, 50 years “American Pie” resides in the Library of Congress National Recording Registry, joining less than 500 works. “American Pie” was named by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA) a top five song of the 20th Century.
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.
