Simons Haus und Studio sind in Kalifornien bei den extremen Bränden vollkommen zerstört worden.
"After playing the first show of Protocol's US tour at the Iridium, in NYC, I received several frantic messages of the Thomas fire from my fiancee Billie Rainbird as she saw the sky turn orange from behind our house, frantically grabbing things, fleeing from our home within 20 minutes with our beloved dog Bear.
Just a few hours later I received another devasting phone call that our house, studio and everything had been burned to the ground.
At this juncture, I do not know what insurance will cover and I fear getting our lives back together will take much more than we can imagine.
We are in tremendous shock, going from disbelief to devastation to denial.
We are very grateful for all the support and love we are receiving from around the world. We are truly touched and moved. Thank you.
Any support you can provide to help is deeply and dearly appreciated.
With much love - Simon and Billie "
