Personal Life
Since 1998, McGee has been married to musician his longtime girlfriend Kate Holmes who is currently of the Client and formerly of the Frazier Chorus and Technique and now runs the fashion label Client London. They have been together since 1994. The couple has a daughter who is now 12 called Charlie, and they currently live in rural Wales.
McGee's mid-90s drug intake was such that he eventually suffered a breakdown, or 'crash' as he calls it in "Upside Down". He has said that he has no idea how many drugs he was taking at this point, but that he can't remember anything of the year 1993 other than the signing of Oasis. He also stated that Oasis were 'cool' about him cleaning up, but that his sober state made his relationship with Primal Scream difficult.
His first marriage was unsuccessful but produced a son named Daniel. Due to McGee's former long-running drug habits, he had been estranged from his first wife and had not seen his son since he was a baby. Dan was adopted by his ex-wife's new husband in 1994 and his name was changed to Daniel Devine. In 2005, McGee told The Independent that his son now 16 who he had not seen since he was a baby had then recently contacted him and they had reunited. Alan and Dan are again estranged. Dan Devine is currently the frontman for the band Flats.
After reading Peter J. Carrol's Liber Null, McGee became much more interested in the study of occult magick. In July 2012 Mcgee bought a Baptist Chapel in Talgarth in South Wales as yet it is not known what his plans are to yet to what he will do with The Chapel.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general: he would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“As an example of just how useless these philosophers are for any practice in life there is Socrates himself, the one and only wise man, according to the Delphic Oracle. Whenever he tried to do anything in public he had to break off amid general laughter. While he was philosophizing about clouds and ideas, measuring a flea’s foot and marveling at a midge’s humming, he learned nothing about the affairs of ordinary life.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
