Kenny Chesney To Fans: 'It's Total Devastation'

Chesney

The entire world is closely following the path of HURRICANE IRMA right now, including KENNY CHESNEY. He owns a home on the CARIBBEAN island of ST. JOHN, and TODAY (9/7), CHESNEY sent a letter to his fans via TWITTER, along with pictures of IRMA's damage so far. "I don’t know what to say. I’ve never been in war, but the devastation, the people’s faces in a place I know by heart, have left me feeling helpless. It’s total devastation," said CHESNEY. "Most everyone’s displaced. They are frightened, confused, and they don’t know where help is going to come from. Those lives have changed and will never be the same. Those small islands are hard to get to, and they rely on each other to get through what life hands them. For all of them, though, they’ve been where I’ve leaned for emotional and creative support for fifteen years, because they are so generous."

CHESNEY also pledged to help recovery efforts. "I don’t know right now how we’re going to do this. But I want to help. I want to enlist my friends to figure out the best ways to make a difference, to help in whatever ways, small or larger, that we can. I’m blessed with so many great people… We’re already talking, trying to figure out how to get in there. And I know the NO SHOES NATION is mighty. They’ve dug in before and made a difference. I have a feeling once we have our plans in the place, they’ll be there again. Give us a few days to figure this out. Pray/send good thoughts to everyone who’s been affected or is in the path of HURRICANE IRMA. This is unlike anything they’ve ever seen from ST. MAARTENS to ST. BARTHS to PUERTO RICO then the CARIBBEAN and onto KEY WEST. Be safe. Tell someone how much you care. Remember to Spread the Love."
