The Steve Miller Band have sensationally scrapped their entire 2025 US tour – blaming freak weather and growing safety concerns.
The iconic group pulled the plug on all 31 dates, just weeks before the first gig was due to kick off in Bethel, New York, on August 15.
The decision marks one of the first major tours to be axed not because of one specific disaster, but due to the growing threat of climate change-fuelled extreme weather across the States.
Sources say ticket sales were looking lukewarm, but insiders insist it was the unpredictable conditions and safety concerns that ultimately led to the band calling it a day.

Since being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016, Miller has been busy reviving his back catalogue under Universal Music Group.
And while he's still got the chops to perform, sources say the extreme weather risks and his advancing years mean this could be the end of the road for future tours.

Strictly's Anton Du Beke opens up about wife Hannah's ‘cruel and inexplicable' diagnosis in heartbreaking comments
STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has opened up about his wife Hannah Summers' deeply harrowing experience with endometriosis and the effect it had on their journey to parenthood. The 59-year-old, Advertisement 4 Anton Du Beke has opened up about his wife Hannah's endometriosis battle Credit: BBC 4 Hannah wasn't sure if she could have children as a result of her condition Credit: Getty - Contributor 4 The couple were able to have their twins through IVF Credit: Rex Now Anton has revealed that his spouse had big reservations about her ability to start a family as a result of her condition. While appearing on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, the BBC One star expressed: 'I knew I wanted to be with her, I saw her with her nephews. She's so kind and so caring, I just couldn't understand the universe. 'And whoever is upstairs, if anyone's upstairs, looking down and going 'you are the most perfect person to have children, but I'm not going to let you have any children because I'm going to give you this'. "And I'm going to say 'you're going to have this endometriosis, and you're going to suffer with this all of your life, chronically, and I'm not going to let you have any children. Advertisement READ MORE ON ANTON DU BEKE "I thought that was peculiar, cruel, and inexplicable and unforgivable. And if ever I go up to somewhere and meet this person I would say 'I think you're not OK with decisions like this, this doesn't make any sense to me,' he lamented. The dancer went on to praise women for the things they have to go through with their bodies and health and shared his sadness about not being able to take Hannah's pain away. He continued: 'Then we went through the process of IVF, well crying out loud. You girls are extraordinary. As much as I want to get involved, all I can do is hold your hand. 'It makes me emotional every time I talk about it. The injections, the stress, the anxiety. I have anxiety and stress but it's not my body. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity "She has these injections and the bruises in the bum, in the thigh, in the stomach. And you're trying to help but what can you do? 'Whatever you want, tell me and I'll do it but that's all you have and it's horrendous as a man to watch it. Fuming Strictly viewers accuse 'mean' judge Anton DuBeke of being 'horrible' to celeb - did you spot it? 'You feel so inadequate and you want to do so much more but I can't do anything. And that's why you girls are so extraordinary, you're extraordinary that you do all this stuff." Anton and Hannah were fortunate enough to conceive after their first round of IVF and are now a happy family of four. Advertisement This isn't the first time Anton has opened up about Hannah's endometriosis as he discussed her battle while appearing on Loose Women in 2020. He told the ladies: 'For a woman, it affects the quality of your life to a degree because it sort of comes in three parts. "First, there's the excruciating pain, second there's the swelling. It sometimes makes you look like you're pregnant, which is quite a perverse thing because people come up to you and say 'congratulations' and you're like 'actually, no'.' 4 Anton is a judge on Strictly Come Dancing Credit: PA Advertisement
