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 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.

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.
