On Saturday, the 37-year-old musician, real name Danny Kiranos, shared photos from during and after the fire, writing at the top of his post, “Everything is gone.”
Amigo the Devil shared on Instagram that he lost all of his original artwork, dozens of handwritten lyric books with potential songs, and thousands of demos in the fire.
Tragically, the family also lost their beloved dog, Kobe, in the blaze.
“A lifetime of collecting is gone. Just a museum level of pieces that I feel I’ve failed history with. Family heirlooms, achievements, keepsakes are rubble,” the country/rock singer wrote. “Physical representations of this entire existence leave a life experienced to the degradation of memory and time now.”
“I have so much more to say, but right now it’ll all be through the lens of this hopeless feeling,” Kiranos continued. “This was genuinely a night without mercy.”
While he has previously called Austin, Texas, home, Amigo the Devil did not disclose the location of the residence caught in the blaze.
