Legendary singer Stevie Nicks revealed a harrowing experience during the FireAid benefit concert on Thursday night, recounting how she thought her Pacific Palisades home was lost to the recent California wildfires. Instead, thanks to the bravery of firefighters, her home—and possibly her entire street—was saved.
Stevie Nicks’ Emotional Evacuation Story
The Fleetwood Mac icon recalled the terrifying moment when she was forced to evacuate as flames approached her beloved home.
“I was a full-on Pacific Palisadean woman with an old, beautiful, famous house that was almost taken from me as the fire came up the hill behind my house,” Nicks shared.
As she was whisked away to safety, she feared the worst—that when she turned back, she would see her house consumed by flames.
However, thanks to the heroic efforts of firefighters, her home stood strong, just as she says her mother always did. She believes their quick response helped save not just her house but the entire neighborhood.
A Special Dedication to Firefighters
Deeply moved by the firefighters’ bravery, Nicks dedicated her performance of “Landslide” to those who risked their lives battling the flames and saving homes.
