CNN —Musician Mick Fleetwood of the famed group Fleetwood Mac said his restaurant, Fleetwood’s on Front St, in Lahaina, Hawai’i has been lost due to the wildfires raging there. The “older neighborhood” of Lahaina, an economic hub in western Maui that drew millions of tourists each year, is destroyed, Maui County Mayor Richard T. Bissen Jr. said in a Thursday afternoon news conference. And with power and cell service out in western Maui, officials don’t know how many people who may have tried to escape are still missing. As of Friday, this week’s wildfires in Hawai’i have killed 55, in what could be the largest natural disaster in the state’s history, the governor said. “We also have many hundreds of homes destroyed, and that’s going to take a great deal of time to recover from.”

At a concert in London, shortly before McVie officially rejoined the band, Nicks dedicated the song “Landslide” to her “mentor. “It was critical that I got on with her because I’d never played with another girl,” McVie told the Guardian in 2013. She officially rejoined Fleetwood Mac after calling Fleetwood himself and gauging what her return would mean for the group. In 2015, a year after she’d rejoined Fleetwood Mac, McVie hit the road with her bandmates. Christine McVie (left) and Stevie Nicks perform together at Radio City Music Hall in 2018.
