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.

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson cozy up on The Naked Gun red carpet in New York City amid romance rumors
LIAM Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been seen cozying up to one another on the Naked Gun red carpet amid rampant romance rumors. Rumors are rife that the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List from Northern Ireland, and the 58-year-old former Baywatch babe are romantically involved. 6 6 The glamorous pair star in the new Naked Gun movie together, with Liam recently saying about Pamela: 'I'm madly in love with her.' And last night in New York, the pair stepped out for the premiere of the hit flick, which first hit screens in 1988, starring Leslie Nielsen. Held at the School for the Visual Arts theatre in the Big Apple, the leading actor and actress gazed at one another while standing together at the glitzy event. Pamela looked chic in a midnight blue gown that was modestly cut and sailed all the way down to the ground. She wore her blond locks in a sleek style and finished off her old Hollywood look with some lace gloves on her hands. Meanwhile, Liam wore a gray suit and white shirt, complete with a black belt and matching shoes. Looking dapper and smart, Liam gazed down as Pamela as the pair smiled sweetly at one another. The Naked Gun duo were even joined on the red carpet by their children. Pamela has two sons, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. Meanwhile, Liam has two sons, Micheál, 29, and Daniel, 28, with his late wife, actress Natasha Richardson, who sadly died in 2009. The couple, along with each of their two sons, were seen standing with one another as they all smiled. Reacting to the red carpet snaps and videos circulating social media, one person said on X, "I'm just obsessed with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson!" Another gushed, "They are so cute. Hope they get together!" "I hope they fall for each other. They are two nice people who deserve a great love story," penned a third. I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy. Pamela Anderson on her bond with Liam Neeson "They would make a nice couple," swooned a fourth. A fifth then said, "They have a lot of chemistry." "They really nailed it with this pairing, damn," added a sixth, speaking of the Naked Gun movie casting. While a seventh person added, "I saw Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson interviewing each other and they are 100% in love,,, or if not then he's definitely in love with her." Earlier during the press tour for the comedy flick, the actress took snaps of the smartly suited actor's crotch, while he pretended to photograph her as she giggled on the floor. The off-screen chemistry went further with Liam planting a gentle kiss on the side of Pamela's head as he held her waist. Liam also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opens on August 1, was 'the sex scenes', which the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for. Liam added: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'.' Pamela is a five-times married former Playboy model, who has seemingly hinted that her on-screen love interest Liam will not be her next hubby. She commented of her co-star: 'I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.' She added: 'He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.' 6 6 6

I met my husband when I was 22 and he was 38 - but now I'm older, our love story gives me the ick
A woman has revealed how she is 'starting to regret' her 'age gap marriage', just two years after tying the knot. The 27-year-old, who is believed to be from the US, took to Reddit to anonymously share that she has gotten 'the ick' from her 43-year-old partner and regrets marrying him. They met when she was just 22 years old, and he was in his late 30s, although she said he acted much younger. The coupe wed when she was 25, and from the outside their relationship seemed great, with the woman describing their lifestyle as 'pretty comfy' and insisting they were in sync on many values and goals. However, she claimed now that her 'frontal lobe is fully developed' she has outgrown him and probably wouldn't have picked him as a partner if they met at this age. At the heart of her unease is a growing resentment towards the circumstances under which the relationship began, saying the fact he pursued her when she was aged just 22 is an 'ick'. The post read: 'When I first met him and he came along and offered security, I jumped on it! I knew it was weird dating a guy so much older, but I've always had a rebellion-ish mindset. 'I don't know, I thought it was kinda hot, I blame Lana Del Rey and people in my life for not telling me it was a questionable relationship. We married when I was 25 and everything has been pretty alright on paper so I feel bad complaining.' As a dual-income, no-kids couple, they have spent years building what she calls 'a solid foundation together'. She added: 'We show affection to each other, though sometimes it feels like he's just a roommate or a parental figure. Our sex life is boring and that's also a big part of it.' Financially, a divorce would mean giving up her current quality of life and she dreads the idea of returning to the dating pool. She added: 'Anyways, even though I'd say our marriage is like, 80 per cent good and I feel a deep love for him, I also realise now that my frontal lobe is fully developed I'm growing out of this container of him making all the decisions. 'I probably wouldn't chose him as a partner if I had met him now. Really the core of it all is that I'm carrying this resentful/ ick feeling that he pursued me when I was so young. 'So what if I was mature for my age? I couldn't even imagine dating a 22-year-old now and I'm only 27.' She later clarified: 'The ick from the age gap didn't come from social media, it came from me growing up and seeing relationship dynamics more clearly.' The post, which racked up over 4,000 likes, saw a flurry of supportive commenters offering the woman some advice. One person said: '27 is a really great age to start over. So is 28, so is 29 and so is 30. Who cares if you couldn't live how and where you want, that's kind of the beauty in messing it all up and getting to start again.' Another said: 'Can confirm. Even 43 and 48 are great ages to start again. I've done it and I'm 52 now. Never been happier in a relationship. 'With every year you know yourself better and importantly, know what is and definitely isn't okay for you in a relationship and partner. Don't be held back by putting yourself in a box. 'There's a risk that resentment builds as your doubt floods your head and you see the evidence that the doubts are justified. Seriously consider what that looks like as a future and then decide for yourself if it's jumping off time or if you're having a wobble. 'If you suppress your agency or sexual needs, you can pretty much guarantee that you'll be resentful. Disaster and pain then become inevitable. The strangers on the internet can't and shouldn't decide for you.' Another added: 'My mom is starting over at 59 and she's happier than I've ever seen her in my life! It's never too late to choose yourself.' A fourth added: 'OP, 27 is when I got divorced from my 8-years-older ex (married at 20, he was 28). It's unequivocally the BEST decision I've ever made. My life is mine, I'm so happy now (31).'

80s supermodel unrecognizable as she's spotted in LA – can you guess who she is?
A LEGENDARY model has shown off her famous legs while stepping out for a grocery run in Los Angeles. The 70-year-old star – who was one of the original supermodels back in the 1980s – kept a low profile in jean shorts, a t-shirt and a wide-brimmed hat while on her outing 10 10 Almost completely concealing her identity with a pair of oversized sunglasses, she immediately ran into trouble when taking a sip from her Starbucks coffee cup. Drinking from the takeaway cup as she stepped out of the car, the hot drink appeared to disagree with the model, who immediately spat it out onto the street. The icon was seen coughing and spluttering while precariously holding the drink, before wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She then stepped into Walgreens for a grocery run. You've guessed it, it's Janice Dickinson! MODEL BEHAVIOR Janice still maintains her killer body - most defined by her famous long legs, which she often flaunted on the runway. During her heyday in the late 70s and 80s, Janice was one of the most in-demand models in the industry – working with designers including Versace, Oscar De La Renta, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior. She also appeared on magazine covers ranging from Vogue to Playboy. After stepping away from modeling, she found fame with a new generation when she joined the judges' panel of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model in 2003. Known for her no-holds-barred critiques, she was eventually removed from the panel after the fourth cycle – being replaced by Twiggy. Despite this, she was such a favorite for the show she made guest star appearances during challenges to guide the up-and-coming models. Janice Dickinson brands supermodel Naomi Campbell 'the biggest b****' during shock chat with I'm A Celeb campmates Shortly after this, Janice appeared on UK reality show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Joining the series in 2007, Janice was made to live and complete challenges while living in the Australian jungle. She eventually placed second, losing out to British personality Christopher Biggins, but set the record for most challenges completed, doing 10 during her stint. However, when she joined the American version of the show, she failed to make it to the finals. In 2015, Janice returned to British TV on Celebrity Big Brother, and lasted until just two days before the finale when she was evicted.
