Nearly 40 years later, guess who's coming to Manila and definitely put this rumor to rest?
It's funny that at the height of his fame back in the 70's that rumor came up. I should know because I have these really old Jingle song books/music magazines and it was reported there. Seems like every famous person went through that kind of rumor. Although that rumor was false, he was gone from the music industry long enough for everyone to wonder "What happened to him?" Even my mom(who's a huge fan of his music even way back then) is unsure if he is still alive or not.
But he's alive(YES!!! \m/) and kickin' and he's going to perform live at the Araneta Center at 8 PM.
I grew up listening to old music and his works were no exception. I even had the lyrics of American Pie in my old songbooks and attempt to memorize it all the time!(Sadly, I couldn't. hahaha) And my favorite song of his would be "Birthday Song" because even when I was younger, I wished that someone would sing that on my birthday(ECHOS! AMBONGGA NAMAN! LOLOLOLOLOL). But I love singing to his songs. I LAAAAB DA WAY YOU LAB MEEEEEHHHH....;-D
True Fact that You Already Know but I Will Still Say Anyway: This guy looooves Buddy Holly(McLean's American Pie album is dedicated to him) and the song American Pie was inspired by him and his death(along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper ). Also, there's an interpretation behind the song's lyrics so check the song's Wiki to find out.
"A Starry, Starry Night with Don McLean" is produced by Ovation Productions.
Note: I wasn't paid to advertise this and wish I was. XDD. I only wrote this entry because as a longtime fan I think it's great to write something about him
