Don McLean and his wife of about thirty years, Patrisha, have finalized their divorce.
Patrisha originally filed for divorce in January after her husband was arrested in a domestic abuse case. Over the days after the incident, she came out statements saying that there had been a patter of abuse over they years and that, had she not been able to call police during the incident in January, that she might have been killed.
For a time, it appeared that the divorce was called off but, in recent months, Patrisha has said that she was proceeding.
The singer will pay Patrisha $10 million despite a premarital agreement that would have precluded the settlement.
Don McLean still must face a number of charges including domestic abuse, terrorizing, criminal threatening, criminal restraint, criminal mischief and obstructing the reporting of a crime.
