Steve Miller Band cancels 2025 tour before it even began: ‘Blame it on the weather'
The California rock group announced Wednesday that it has called off the remainder of its 2025 tour, including several shows in New York and concerts in Southern California, citing several extreme weather conditions.
'The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires makes these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable,' the 'Fly Like an Eagle' group said in a statement shared on its social media pages.
The Steve Miller Band announced its tour in March. In May, the group revealed that the slate of live shows would take its members across North America, starting with the East Coast in August. Shows in San Diego, Inglewood and Anaheim were set for November. While the announcement comes amid climate crises, including the fatal floods in the Northeast and Texas, the band did not specify which areas or weather events posed a risk to its tour plans.
Wednesday's statement also left the possibility of future live performances pretty open-ended: 'Don't know where, don't know when...We hope to see you all again.'
Though the group concluded its statement by wishing fans 'peace, love and happiness,' it was met with division in the comments section. On Instagram, several followers said that they understood the rock band's decision to call off the tour, while others wrote that they found the justification 'odd' and speculated on reasons for the abrupt cancellation.
A representative for the rock group did not immediately respond to The Times' request for additional information.
Just a day before its sudden announcement, the group continued to promote the tour on social media. On Tuesday, the band's X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram pages published a photo of Miller, 81, receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987.
'Catch him and the band on tour starting next month,' said the caption accompanying the photo. The post at the time directed followers to the band's website to purchase tickets.
Fans visiting the website are now met with the cancellation notice.
The Steve Miller Band was founded in the 1960s and is led by its namesake Grammy-winning vocalist and guitarist. It is also known for songs such as 'Jungle Love,' 'Abracadabra,' 'Take the Money and Run' and 'Space Cowboy.'

'What happens when we reach the end of something and realize … we are just at the beginning.' Long confirmed he was in a relationship during an episode of his podcast, Life Is Short. While talking about pizza toppings with his guest, Fortune Feimster, he shared, 'People have been saying [pineapple] lately and it's funny my girlfriend said that hers is—she loves the pineapple, too.' A source confirmed to Us Weekly that Long and Bosworth had been dating 'for a few months.'

Long revealed to People that he and Bosworth had been celebrating Halloween by watching a horror movie every night. 'We just love horror,' he said. 'It's really limitless, what you can do with that genre. I think that's what we really have been enjoying about it.' Bosworth posted, 'HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🧡🍂 So grateful for your warmth and safety and that bright beautiful ever glow @justinlong … you make life so much fun. xx.'

She just cared about being married.' Long celebrated Bosworth's 41st birthday with a tribute: 'One day our kids might ask me, 'Dad, why did you write sappy things about Mom on that old Instagram app? The one you won't let us use?' And I'll say, 'Well…because there are a lot of poisonous things on the Internet but your mom always inspires me to put good things into the world.''

'City High' Singer Robbie Pardlo Passes Away at 46
Source: Ethan Miller / Getty We are sad to report that Robbie Pardlo, a former member of the R&B trio City High, has passed away at the age of 46. A rep for the singer confirmed to TMZ that he passed away on July 17, surrounded by family and close friends in Willingboro, NJ. A cause of death has not been determined. Robbie Pardlo was more than just a talented vocalist; he was a compassionate soul whose music touched millions. Before his rise to fame with City High, Robbie lent his voice to Whitney Houston's 1999 hit 'My Love Is Your Love,' a track that achieved double platinum status and remains a fan favorite. Forming City High with Claudette Ortiz and Ryan Toby in the late 1990s, the group gained widespread recognition with their debut single, 'What Would You Do?' The thought-provoking anthem peaked in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy nomination. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2001, featured additional hits like 'Caramel' and 'City High Anthem.' Despite their success, the group disbanded shortly after, leaving behind a lasting impact on R&B and hip-hop fans. Robbie's life after City High was marked by personal challenges. During the group's peak, he faced emotional turmoil stemming from a relationship with bandmate Claudette Ortiz, who later married their fellow member Ryan Toby. This heartbreak contributed to Robbie's battle with alcoholism, a struggle he openly shared during his appearance on A&E's reality series Intervention in 2010. The show highlighted his journey from the depths of his addiction to his eventual recovery. Survivors include his mother, Marion, brother Gregory, wife Anika, and children Lyric & Chord-Andrew. Funeral arrangements are pending. RELATED: Rest In Power: Notable Black Folks Who We've Lost In 2025 SEE ALSO 'City High' Singer Robbie Pardlo Passes Away at 46 was originally published on

You all were literally part of the Blue Bloods family! Not just on Friday nights (trending #BlueBloods every single week that it's been on the air), not just in your impact on the Ratings (which was massive), you all made yourselves an actual part of the crew.' Wahlberg added that everyone on the set 'knew you, appreciated you and was happy to see you.' 'None — more than me.

I don't believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the television network, 'Here's a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,' it would be almost impossible to believe.' Selleck continued, 'My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go. So how do I feel? It's going to take a long time to sort all of this out.' Despite his disappointment, the 'Magnum P.I.' star isn't done yet. 11 A scene from the CBS series 'Blue Bloods.'

'When it ended, we thought, 'Okay, some of the network's gonna come and say, let's keep going.' And nobody came, and it was kind of like we were all in denial about it,' he told Fox News Digital. Wahlberg said that the opportunity for him to produce 'Boston Blue' then came along. 11 A March episode of 'Blue Bloods.' JOJO WHILDEN 'It was heavy, you know?' the singer confessed. 'It's, like, how do I do this? Like, how does [his character] Danny Reagan carry on? You know, how do we create this new world for this character, and how do we do it in another city, not in New York?' Wahlberg mentioned that everyone involved in 'Blue Bloods' — both in front of and behind the camera — was so important to him. 'They became part of our family,' he said. 'You know, the viewers are saying, like, 'How do we keep going with a Blue Blood spinoff without the whole family?' And I share that. How do we do that, right?' Wahlberg made the decision to move forward with the new project. 11 Donnie Wahlberg as Officer Danny Reagan. CBS 'It was definitely a challenge to take on this opportunity, but I kept saying to myself, you know, if I'm really sincere about wanting 'Blue Bloods' to carry on, here's an opportunity to do it,' he detailed. 'Now, it's just Danny going to this new world, but I can't say a lot about it — but I could say, if he's a Reagan, it will never be just Danny. There'll always be a Reagan a phone call away. And the traditions that the Reagans have, Danny wouldn't abandon those traditions.'
