Rolling Stone has reported that Neil Young has filed for divorce from his wife of 36 years, Pegi Young. Young filed a petition for dissolution of the marriage back in July, and the couple has a scheduled hearing in December. Â
The couple met when Pegi was working as a waitress, which was later told as a story in his song “Unknown Legend”. They have had musical collaborations over the years, with Pegi singing as backup during Neil’s shows, and Neil helping her on her solo tours. Â
With a son that has cerebral palsy, the two founded The Bridge School, which provides education for children with physical impairments. They’ve also held a benefit concert annually in Mountain View, California. With the divorce looming, only time will tell if this concert for such a good cause will continue.
