Fleetwood Mac co-founder and drummer Mick Fleetwod has lost his restaurant, Fleetwood’s on Front St, in the catastrophic Maui wildfires. “MAUI and The Lahaina community have been my home for several decades,” he writes on Instagram. “This is a devastating moment for MAUI and many are suffering unimaginable loss. Fleetwood’s on front Street has been lost and while we are heartbroken our main priority is the safety of our dear staff and team members. On behalf of myself and my family I share my heartfelt thoughts and prayers for the people of MAUI. We are committed to supporting the community and those affected by this disaster in the days month and years to come.”
A post from the restaurant, which Fleetwood opened in 2012, reads, “As many of you have probably seen on the news, Lahaina Town has suffered tremendous damage and with that Fleetwood’s on Front Street has been lost. Words can not express the devastation that our community is facing right now. Our main priority at the moment is the safety of our team members and staff. We appreciate your support and patience as we navigate this difficult terrain. Mahalo.”
At least 55 people have been killed in the fires, and thousands have been displaced. Local nonprofit Maui Rescue Mission cannot access the western part of the island, telling CNN it’s “completely cut off from communication and power.”
