The “Leather and Lace” singer made the post shortly after it was revealed that the wildfires had claimed the lives of 96 people.“As I am sure you have heard – the island, Maui, where I own a house I have been staying at since the 80s – and the small village, city, most magical place on earth, Lahaina, burned to the ground over the last few days,” read the post.
Since being posted, several people have called out the singer’s response to the situation as tone-deaf.“There was no way to know that this amazing town that had survived so much for so long would burn down and disappear into the history books, leaving so much sadness, destruction, and death behind it in its wake,” lamented the singer. “This island, in so many ways, defines Fleetwood Mac and me and our families.
