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.
The tour had been due to wrap up in Anaheim, California, on November 8, but now it's no-go for fans across the country.
The band broke the news in a straight-talking statement — true to form for frontman Steve Miller, 81, whose no-nonsense charm has earned him legions of loyal fans over the decades.
The statement reads: "Dear Steve Miller Band fans, You make music with your instincts. You live life by your instincts. Always trust your instincts…
"The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates.
"The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So...

"You can blame it on the weather… The tour is cancelled. Don't know where, don't know when… We hope to see you all again.
"Wishing you all peace, love and happiness. Please take care of each other."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, best known for iconic hits like The Joker, Fly Like an Eagle, Jet Airliner and Take the Money and Run, has been a staple on the touring circuit since the mid-60s.
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.

A spokesperson for the couple said: "The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter. "Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well. "The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family." They announced the pregnancy in March, with a spokesperson saying: "The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together." The Duke is godfather to Prince George, and also reportedly to Prince Archie. During the couple's wedding at Chester Cathedral in June 2024, William acted as Usher. Harry wasn't in attendance amid his long-running rift with his brother. Hugh had previously been considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors. He became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title, and the historic Grosvenor Estate, aged 25 following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016. Duke of Westminster's wedding exposed Harry & William's brutal rift - one encounter would've been excruciating, says pro His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city developments like Liverpool's One shopping centre. In 2020, Hugh donated £12.5 million to the Covid-19 relief effort across NHS Charities Together, as well as across medical research and development. 3 Prince William acted as usher at their wedding at Chester Cathedral Credit: Getty

She TWICE had to turn down huge cash prizes because the rules of golf mean she cannot take prize money while still an amateur. At the start of July Woad won the Women's Irish Open by six shots but because she was an amateur, she couldn't receive the £58,000 prize. Woad then missed out on £400,000 in prize money for coming third at the Evian Championship, the fourth women's major of the year.

‘Time goes so fast' – Tyson Fury posts incredible throwback from 2013 showing off ripped abs and buzz cut hair
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TYSON FURY posted an incredible throwback from 2013 - when he had ripped abs and a buzz cut hairdo. The Gypsy King, 25 at the time, was a heavyweight contender on the rise only two years away from his famous victory over Wladimir Klitschko. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Tyson Fury posted an incredible throwback from 2013 Credit: Instagram / @tysonfury 5 He looks totally different 12 years later Credit: Getty Fury - now a two-time heavyweight world champion and legend of British boxing - reflected on his 12-year rise with the throwback picture. He posted: "Throw back 2013. Timegoes so fast, live life and enjoy the now as we spend all our lives looking to the future & forgetting to live in the current time zone. "Life is short enjoy the 1s who count and dont let anything hold you back! be the best version of yourself on the daily, All praise to god in jesus name." Fury dethroned Klitschko of the WBA, IBF and WBO world titles in an iconic 2015 upset in Germany. But he dropped all the belts just two years later amid a battle with depression and substance abuse that saw him balloon to 30 STONE. Fury returned in 2018 and drew with Deontay Wilder for the WBC title - before winning the belt in their 2020 rematch. He lost the gold in May to Oleksandr Usyk - who became the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champ. And after losing the December rematch, Fury, 36, retired a month later. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But perhaps unsurprisingly - having hung up his gloves four times before - Fury announced he will make a comeback next year. He said: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. Tyson Fury leaps to Daniel Dubois' defence after Oleksandr Usyk defeat "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment. "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here. "I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on! And then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. But I believe I can put on some very good nights still." 5 Fury stunned Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 Credit: -- 5 He knocked out Deontay Wilder in 2020 to win the WBC title Credit: Getty
