Neil Young is officially an American citizen now. The Canadian-born musician obtained citizenship in order to be able to vote against Donald Trump in the next presidential election.
According to TMZ website, Neil Young took his oath in Los Angeles, accompanied by his wife, Daryl Hannah, even waving a small United States flag.
The musician, who lived a good part of his life in the United States, entered the process of obtaining citizenship some time ago, which was approved only this Wednesday.
In November, his lawsuit suffered a short setback due to the use of marijuana. Something that American authorities said indicated the “lack of a good moral character”.
