Fleetwood Mac leader Mick Fleetwood's Hawaii restaurant, Fleetwood's on Front Street, tragically burned down during raging wildfires spreading across the island of Maui this week.
Mick, who has called Hawaii home for many years, first opened the upscale-casual American restaurant with a rooftop bar and breathtaking ocean views on Front Street in 2012. The classy food spot known for its delicious seafood dishes was met with great acclaim from Hawaii visitors and residents for the past 11 years until the local business sadly burned down.

The deadly wildfires began several days ago as thousands of Hawaii residents were forced to evacuate their homes. Firefighters are fighting to contain the dangerous flames, but so far the fires have killed 36 people with several communities completely burned to the ground. The wildfires have been fuelled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane.
