During the promotional tour for that album, he indicated to the press that he had battled an addiction to crack cocaine from 1997 to 1999. He subsequently signed with the independent label Loggerhead Records for his 1999 album Helter's Celtic. In 1998 MacIsaac fought successfully to be independent of his record label. On that same year he also featured as a guest on Toronto indie rock band Glueleg's final studio album, Clodhopper, specifically on the album's second track, "See Saw Man". On a 1997 Late Night with Conan O'Brien appearance, his leg kick lifted his kilt high enough that his genitals were visible to the studio audience, although they were blurred out in post-production before the actual broadcast. It was widely reported in the media that another opener, folk singer Nanci Griffith, dropped out of the tour because she objected to MacIsaac's musical style, but Griffith later confirmed in Rolling Stone that her primary conflict was not with MacIsaac's style, but with tour organizers over how much time was available for her after the addition of MacIsaac to the bill. In 1996, MacIsaac toured the United States as an opening act for the Chieftains. The Advocate did not print any of the material, but Maclean's dropped him from its year-end honours list. In 1996, in a Maclean's interview, he claimed that he had discussed his sexual life, including his young boyfriend and a claimed fondness for watersports, in an interview with the LGBT newsmagazine The Advocate. He officially came out in 1996 after Frank, a Canadian gossip magazine, published a cover story about his sexuality. During his early career, MacIsaac subtly acknowledged his sexual identity, sometimes wearing a set of rainbow flag freedom rings on a neck chain in promotional photos, but avoided explicitly coming out to the press. Hi™ How Are You Today? was a double-platinum selling Canadian record and earned MacIsaac a 1996 Juno in the category Best Roots & Traditional Album – Solo. The song peaked at number 13 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart and found minor success in the United States, reaching number two on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. MacIsaac's album Hi™ How Are You Today?, featuring the hit single "Sleepy Maggie", with vocals in Scottish Gaelic by Mary Jane Lamond was released in 1995. According to MacIsaac, spoken during his February 25, 2017, concert at Koerner Hall in Toronto, they are now divorced. The two met and MacIsaac opened for the White Stripes concert in Glace Bay in 2007. He is also a distant cousin of the White Stripes guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White. His cousins Alexis MacIsaac, Wendy MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster are also touring fiddlers. She also appears on his album Helter's Celtic, which was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario. His sister Lisa is also a fiddler, who has her own alternative country band, Madison Violet. MacIsaac was born in Creignish, Inverness County, Nova Scotia.
