Talk about bad timing. Atlanta producer/singer Butch Walker, who has written songs for Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, the Donnas, Pink and Fall Out Boy, lost all his possessions over the weekend after wildfires destroyed in a home he was renting from Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea in Malibu, Calif.
Walker, who once fronted Marvelous 3, in recent years had been spending more and more time in L.A. on his producing work and less time in Atlanta so he and his wife had recently taken key items from his Atlanta home and moved the stuff to Malibu. Walker was in New York at the time of the fire.
“I lost everything I’ve ever owned,” Walker said in a release. “Every master of every song I’ve ever recorded, every piece of recording equipment, guitars, drums and things I’ve collected over the years, cars, motorcycles, every family memorial, heirloom, picture and document we ever had. … Gone. I feel like I finally know the difference between ‘going back’ and ‘going home.’ “
According to 99X’s event director Mike Kee at the AIR Awards Thursday night, friends and family are digging up photos and memorabilia for Walker.
