McLean lives on a 300-acre estate with his wife Patrisha and their children Jackie and Wyatt. It’s unknown who McLean allegedly attacked at the residence.

McLean was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault. He was released from police custody on $10,000 bail and will have to appear in court on Feb. 22 to face the charge.

In 1971, McLean released his hit song “American Pie,” which was about the deaths of singers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper in a tragic plane crash. Since then, McLean has continued to release albums and tours across the United States, the U.K. and Australia.

McLean is scheduled to perform in Chicago, Houston and La Miranda, Calif., towards the end of January before heading to Australia for a string of shows in March.
