Stevie Nicks has been called out by fans online after she shared a post about the Maui fires her followers deemed to be ‘self-centred’ and ‘privileged’.
singer-songwriter uploaded a picture of a typed-out message to her Instagram account in the aftermath of the natural disaster on Saturday.
It read: ‘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. ‘My house is 15 to 20 minutes from Lahaina – but still no one knew about the fire. We knew here in Houston, but there was no way to get Jessi on the phone. The entire area of Lahaina and everything around it was down. But here in Houston… we knew.’
‘This island, in so many ways, defines Fleetwood Mac and me and our families. Mick and I came here in 1978, went up to Kula to look at a huge, beautiful house and stood in front of it listening to the gentle magical wind.
