From AOL news:
One resident who reportedly lost his home was Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, whose real name is Michael Balzary, property records showed. He wrote in a text message that a house he owned "had burnt to a crisp," the Los Angeles Times reported.
....Hope he was insured. |

So was it his home or just a house he owned? Also, not to downplay a bad situation, but if anyone can afford to lose a house(as long as that vintage Jazz wasn't there  )it would be the Flea.

im thinking his jazz bass is safe, but thats still an unfortunate situation.

It sucks, but this type of fire is much better than one caused by faulty wiring or gas IMO.

Apparently he lost everything he owned in the fire - all his studio/music gear, personal possessions, and family heirlooms. The story's been on the radio here in ATL since he's a former resident. A sad story for all involved. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
