Title: Singer Don McLean, 73 and new girlfriend.
Post by: Costanza on September 01, 2019, 10:39:31 PM
True love?


He’s the man who gave us folk-rock classic American Pie back in 1971 — but Don McLean’s new girlfriend wasn’t even born when he released his number one hit.

Yet Paris Dylan, 25, is enjoying a fabulous lifestyle with her boyfriend — who is 48 years her senior — with the pair blowing $450k on holidays in the past year, The Sun reports.

The pair met when Paris — who previously worked as a Playboy model — was hired to manage 73-year-old Don’s social media accounts in early 2016, confirming their relationship months later with a cosy selfie.

It came just months after Don finalised his divorce from his second wife, Patrisha Shnier, 59, who accused Don of multiple incidents of “rage and controlling behaviour” during their marriage.

Talking about Paris in a recent interview, Don said: “She was a big fan of mine and I fell for her.”

Now the couple travel the world together — dining at exclusive restaurants, holidaying in destinations like Hawaii and splashing the cash on five-star hotels, high-end restaurants and designer clothes.

The pair travel first class or on private jets whenever they go away.

It’s estimated this year their extensive travel has cost more than $450,000.

This includes $10,000-a-pop hotels and the lease of private jets, which cost a minimum of $27k.

“I have a great girlfriend and she travels everywhere with me,” Don said last month.


“We went to 85 cities last year and we’ll go to around 85 this year. We go everywhere together and she’s so helpful. She does everything I need, we have a very good situation.”

On their trips, the couple, who are currently in the UK on tour, only stay in the private suites of luxury hotels — like the $10,000 per night Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel.

They also dine at top restaurants and were recently spotted at La Grenouille, in New York City, which specialises in gourmet French cuisine.

The set menu is $600 for two people or around $900 with wine.

During a recent trip to France, the lingerie model, who often posts snaps of herself on private planes, enjoyed visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Versailles.

She posted a photo of her and Don standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, along with a red heart emoji and captioned it: “A dream with my love.”

The pair also made stops in Norway, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany on their way back to the US.

$70K DESIGNER WARDROBE

While Don rehearses on tour, his girlfriend often spends the day shopping at high-end retailers such as Prada and Gucci.

The 25-year-old is frequently pictured with shopping bags from high-end retailers, such as Christian Louboutin, where shoes range from $900 to $3500.

She also seems to be a lover of Italian clothing brand Valentino and recently posed in their $1200 Rockstud patent leather heels.

Paris also shops at Hermes — one of the world’s most expensive fashion labels, loved by the Kardashians.


She summed up her love for the brand by simply captioning an image of a Hermes shopping bag, “Yum.”

The model, who also owns a pair of $1200 Prada trainers, recently posed with a $1800 red Gucci bag, a Gucci shopping bag and $1000 Gucci heels.

CELEBRITY FRIENDS


Paris recently filmed her man and hit-maker Ed Sheeran backstage at a charity concert singing an acoustic duet of Don’s hit Vincent (Starry, Starry Night), which went viral.

“That wouldn’t be out there for people to see without her,” insists tech-averse Don.

The pair often hang out in the studio and dine with the likes of Ed and fellow legendary rockers, such as Roger Daltrey from The Who.

“Paris loves a lot of artists,” says Don, before adding tongue-in-cheek. “I’m not her only love; she’s got many others.”

Paris has also shared snaps of herself arm-in-arm with rocker Alice Cooper and one with Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino.


MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MANSIONS

When they are not on the road, the couple are usually holed up in Don’s 121-hectare estate in Maine or in one of his other sprawling mansions in California.

Paris frequently shares snaps of herself at the various homes — by the pool in her bikinis and with her beloved chihuahua, Tiki.

It’s not clear whether she’s still working as his social media manager — but she’s certainly cemented her position as Don’s Miss American Pie.

Maybe if you sang about pies instead of just eating them, you'd be able to get yourself a young model like Don and I did, too. You obviously need to start paying attention to my womanizing tips, 'Rob'.

I think he was married for almost 30 years to a nice Jewish woman with whom he has children and is now just being a dumbass looking to cash out.  l don't know if he is Jewish but he did write a song called "Dreidel".  Personally, with respect to "dating" this young woman, I think he's being an idiot.   They have nothing in common but his money and the parts fit.

I enjoy his songs "American Pie" and "Starry, Starry Night" but otherwise his works didn't hold much interest for me.

According to google, his net worth is $8 million, but another site has him at $50 million.  Kinda crazy to think that a guy who had one giant hit almost 50 years ago is still rich as fuck today because of it.  I'm guessing he was a smart investor and didn't start pissing away his money until he met this gold digging whore.


With that said,  how can anyone blame the guy?  He's in his mid 70's and wants to travel the world and fuck a 10/10, which is basically living the dream regardless of age!

He must have done a lifetime world tour singing that song every day in tiny venues and just pocketed all the cash for 50 years.  Why not just buy young escorts and save a ton of money instead of spending millions one one gold digging whore?

Never heard of him. I've heard the song American Pie, but thought it was a Madonna song [or sang by a woman].

Highest paid singer? How is that possible? I agree that he should just pay for escorts. He looks good for 73.

Tours constantly and gets royalties from the song "American Pie". That song is ubiquitous in tv, film, and commercials. He claims he made $150 million, and shoots for a growth rate of 6% at least on his money -

This girl will take him to the cleaners if he's not careful and is dumb enough to marry her.

I know/know of a guy who has a few girlfriends who are in their 30’s and he’s in his upper 60’s. He had one living with him but never married any of them. Dude is easily worth $50 million and banging younger quality women, just doesn’t marry any of them. Some of these guys are smart enough to not get caught up and marry them.

It's not so much a case of being naive but more of "I have all I need BUT the most important thing is missing". People want to share their goods with someone especially once they've made it.

I remember reading Janis Ian's autobiography (younger guys can google her but other than Societys Child her biggest hit was At Seventeen, a song writers pinacle) and when she heard that song for the first time she was in utter shock. It was exactly how she had imagined a song should be written. I've heard it hundreds of times and to this day is one of the few songs that make me marvel at that kind of talent. The catalyst for the song was a book about Van Gogh he had read in 71. He put to words what he saw in the book in such a way it epitomized song writing. But I don't have to tell you that. For those who haven't heard it, one evening when you are chilling, if you have the faintest notion of Van Gogh and his works and story, give it a listen. Truly amazing

The LP American Pie was was a big hit, and McLean wrote hit songs for other artists, including Elvis.  When you own the songs, you get those royalty checks.
He had a massive hit covering Roy Orbison's "Crying."  Roy loved it so much that he started covering McLean's cover!

I don't know if he's ever stopped touring - he keeps his name out there.

He still tours and there was an entertaining blog battle between him and an opening act. The opening act said when he toured with Don, Don was a prima dona and jerk. Don fired back denying it. I've yet to see him live, but if he came to a city close to me I certainly would attend

Absolutely agree.  I've seen Josh Groban in concert (no homo) and his Vincent is incredible.

Interesting timing of your Groban reference.  I just "discovered" his music two weeks ago.  Wonderful singer (no homo).

True love?


He’s the man who gave us folk-rock classic American Pie back in 1971 — but Don McLean’s new girlfriend wasn’t even born when he released his number one hit.

Yet Paris Dylan, 25, is enjoying a fabulous lifestyle with her boyfriend — who is 48 years her senior — with the pair blowing $450k on holidays in the past year, The Sun reports.

The pair met when Paris — who previously worked as a Playboy model — was hired to manage 73-year-old Don’s social media accounts in early 2016, confirming their relationship months later with a cosy selfie.

It came just months after Don finalised his divorce from his second wife, Patrisha Shnier, 59, who accused Don of multiple incidents of “rage and controlling behaviour” during their marriage.

Talking about Paris in a recent interview, Don said: “She was a big fan of mine and I fell for her.”

Now the couple travel the world together — dining at exclusive restaurants, holidaying in destinations like Hawaii and splashing the cash on five-star hotels, high-end restaurants and designer clothes.

The pair travel first class or on private jets whenever they go away.

It’s estimated this year their extensive travel has cost more than $450,000.

This includes $10,000-a-pop hotels and the lease of private jets, which cost a minimum of $27k.

“I have a great girlfriend and she travels everywhere with me,” Don said last month.


“We went to 85 cities last year and we’ll go to around 85 this year. We go everywhere together and she’s so helpful. She does everything I need, we have a very good situation.”

On their trips, the couple, who are currently in the UK on tour, only stay in the private suites of luxury hotels — like the $10,000 per night Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel.

They also dine at top restaurants and were recently spotted at La Grenouille, in New York City, which specialises in gourmet French cuisine.

The set menu is $600 for two people or around $900 with wine.

During a recent trip to France, the lingerie model, who often posts snaps of herself on private planes, enjoyed visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Versailles.

She posted a photo of her and Don standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, along with a red heart emoji and captioned it: “A dream with my love.”

The pair also made stops in Norway, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany on their way back to the US.

While Don rehearses on tour, his girlfriend often spends the day shopping at high-end retailers such as Prada and Gucci.

The 25-year-old is frequently pictured with shopping bags from high-end retailers, such as Christian Louboutin, where shoes range from $900 to $3500.

She also seems to be a lover of Italian clothing brand Valentino and recently posed in their $1200 Rockstud patent leather heels.

Paris also shops at Hermes — one of the world’s most expensive fashion labels, loved by the Kardashians.


She summed up her love for the brand by simply captioning an image of a Hermes shopping bag, “Yum.”

The model, who also owns a pair of $1200 Prada trainers, recently posed with a $1800 red Gucci bag, a Gucci shopping bag and $1000 Gucci heels.

CELEBRITY FRIENDS


Paris recently filmed her man and hit-maker Ed Sheeran backstage at a charity concert singing an acoustic duet of Don’s hit Vincent (Starry, Starry Night), which went viral.

“That wouldn’t be out there for people to see without her,” insists tech-averse Don.

The pair often hang out in the studio and dine with the likes of Ed and fellow legendary rockers, such as Roger Daltrey from The Who.

“Paris loves a lot of artists,” says Don, before adding tongue-in-cheek. “I’m not her only love; she’s got many others.”

Paris has also shared snaps of herself arm-in-arm with rocker Alice Cooper and one with Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino.


MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MANSIONS

When they are not on the road, the couple are usually holed up in Don’s 121-hectare estate in Maine or in one of his other sprawling mansions in California.

Paris frequently shares snaps of herself at the various homes — by the pool in her bikinis and with her beloved chihuahua, Tiki.

It’s not clear whether she’s still working as his social media manager — but she’s certainly cemented her position as Don’s Miss American Pie.
