Last month we reported that Neil Young had filed for divorce from Pegi Young, his wife of 36 years and a frequent musical collaborator. Today, the British tabloid Daily Mail revealed photos of Neil Young and actress Daryl Hannah on what appears to be a date. Apparently there were rumors this summer that the famed singer-songwriter and the Splash actress were dating, though this is the first time any evidence has come to light.
As previously reported, Young filed for divorce from his longtime wife in their hometown of San Mateo, CA back in July. Rolling Stone reported that a hearing was scheduled for December 12.
Young first met Pegi, who also performs with her own band The Survivors, while she was working as a waitress near his California ranch. The story of their introduction is outlined in Young’s 1992 song “Unknown Legend,” one of many songs inspired by Pegi.
In addition to their musical collaborations, Neil and Pegi Young also co-founded The Bridge School together in 1986. The pair have funded the school, which provides education for students with severe physical impairments, with an annual, star-studded benefit concert. As of now, there is no word on the fate of the famed Bridge School Concert, though Pegi’s name has been removed from the Farm Aid lineup.
