Fleetwood Mac co-founder Mick Fleetwood revealed that his restaurant, Fleetwood’s, was destroyed in the devastating wildfires that have been raging on Maui. His waterfront venue in Lahaina, an area almost entirely destroyed by the fires, was among the numerous structures claimed by the disaster.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Fleetwood expressed his sorrow at the loss but emphasized that his main concern was the safety of his staff and team members. He conveyed his thoughts and prayers to the people of Maui, pledging his commitment to support the community and those affected by the disaster in the coming days, months, and years.
Fleetwood, who has resided on the island of Maui for decades, is among many grappling with the aftermath of the wildfires. The fires caused such extensive destruction that Maui Mayor Richard Bissen compared the scene to a war zone, citing melted cars and doors open in streets.
This terrible event has prompted President Biden to sign a disaster declaration for Hawaii, allowing federal disaster aid to support recovery efforts on the island. As the Maui community begins the long road to recovery, support from figures like Fleetwood offers a glimmer of hope amidst the devastation.
