"I Wish I Knew My Father Better" An Emotional Don McLean Interview

Ойын-сауық

Singer and songwriter Don McLean joins Piers Morgan to discuss the 50-year anniversary of his smash hit American Pie and the importance of the track. They also discuss what America means to Don and how the country has changed over the years. Piers also brings up Don’s recent decision to not perform at a gun convention and why he decided to do so. Tyson Fury also sends a message to Don, sharing his love for the track American Pie and what it means to him (as someone who often celebrates and performs to the song). And at the very end of the interview, Don gives us an emotional and honest answer to one of his regrets in life.

    But I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.❤️

    His rhyming on American Pie was outstanding. No cliches. Totally original. Rhyming ' him with gym' ' perfume with tune' and ' ' Queen and Dean' to name a few.

    Don, you just described what it’s like to craft a poem. I’m a poet too. I absolutely love your work. Thank you for your honesty. I wish I could meet you.

    Discovering that Don McLean was an abusive husband and father really crushed me at a deep level, as it was (and still is) almost impossible for me to accept that a man who wrote such beautiful words could be a tyrant toward his family.

    totally agree.....his lyrics and talent are so beautiful...though he can no longer sing really......that it is painful to be a fan after hearing about his abuse. I had contact with his wife, I believe her totally.

    Ive been playing American Pie like crazy lately. What timing. "The father son & the holy ghost" woo don Mclean 🙏🏼. Also Piers, youtube is censoring you. This is not normal you have so few views and subscribers. Im American & have watched you since 2017 on GMB destroying the likes of Monroe Bergdorf & the other brat who tweeked about your identifying as a penguin. So you're being censored obviously. Maybe add a female bad a$$ cohost to break the "algo" rhythm. Xx
