Neil Young - Biography
Neil Percival Young, OC OM is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, producer, director and screenwriter. Young began performing in a group covering Shadows instrumentals in Canada in 1960. He moved to Los Angeles in 1966 where he formed Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and others. Young released two albums by the time he joined Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1969. From his early solo albums and those with famed backing band Crazy Horse, Young recorded a steady stream of studio and live albums, sometimes warring with his recording company along the way.
Young married his first wife, restaurant owner Susan Acevedo, in December 1968. They were together until October 1970, when she filed for divorce.
From late 1970 to 1975, Young was in a relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress. The song "A Man Needs a Maid" from Harvest is inspired by his seeing her in the film Diary of a Mad Housewife. They met soon afterward and she moved in with him on his ranch in northern California. They have a son, Zeke, who was born September 8, 1972.
Young met future wife Pegi Young (née Morton) in 1974 when she was working as a waitress at a diner near his ranch, a story he tells in the 1992 song "Unknown Legend". They married in August 1978 and had two children together, Ben and Amber. Both Ben and Zeke are diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and Amber with epilepsy. The couple were musical collaborators and co-founded the Bridge School in 1986.
On July 29, 2014, Young filed for divorce after 36 years of marriage. He has been in a relationship with actor and director Daryl Hannah since 2014. Young and Hannah were reported to have wed on August 25, 2018 in Atascadero, California. Young confirmed his marriage to Hannah in a video released on October 31, 2018. Pegi died on January 1, 2019.
