Don McLean and his wife Patrisha have split after being married for 30 years.
The 70-year-old “American Pie” singer was arrested back in January on domestic violence charges and he has not been allowed to have contact with his wife since.
Patrisha cited “adultery, cruel and abusive treatment, and irreconcilable differences” in her divorce papers filed on Thursday (March 10). Her lawyer said that she has gained “strength and insight away from his influence and control” since their split.
Don‘s lawyer denies the claims and says he “cares very deeply about his wife and family,” according to THR.
