The Steve Miller Band – led by the titular star and completed by bass player Kenny Lewis, Joseph Wooton on keyboards and backing vocals, guitarist Jacob Peterson and drummer Ron Wikso – posted the photographed statement on all their social media and their website on Wednesday afternoon.
The message read: 'Dear Steve Miller Band fans, You make music with your instincts, You live your 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,' the message concluded.
'Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness, Please take care of each other.'
But fans weren't pleased with their reasoning, with one writing: 'Are you serious? I'm a big fan and got tickets for this tour , but next time please find a [better] excuse.'
While another paraphrased their song, Abracadabra, to them, declaring: 'Abracadabra.
My lame excuse will reach out and grab you.'
'Really weak. All this stuff going on all the more reason people need an escape for a few hours,' said a third.

While another claimed the real reason was poor ticket sales, sharing an alleged grab from the proposed date Northwell at Jones Beach Theater on August 24th showing large sections of the ampitheater going unsold.
'This really doesn't make sense. There is no imminent danger. Play indoors?' said another.
'Venues should just boycott this band and not book them in the future given this lame excuse!,' noted a sixth fan.
While a seventh said:'Say goodbye to any future tour venues due to this lame, woke excuse. But then, this was probably the plan all along…wasn't it?'
The band was set to perform through to November 8th, with their tour ending in Anaheim, California.

Staggering sum Torvill and Dean have banked revealed as they retire from ice skating
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TORVILL and Dean have scored a Perfect 10 after banking a whopping £5million bonanza as they retire from ice skating. The pair performed together for the final time last weekend as they wrapped up their farewell tour in their hometown of Nottingham. 2 Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean received 12 perfect 6.0 scores to win gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo Credit: Getty - Contributor Fresh accounts for Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's skating company Waikiki Limited show they are in great shape off the ice too, after amassing assets of £5m including £620,000 cash in the bank. The accounts, covering the year to 27 October 2024, showed a huge increase of £542,000 compared to the previous year. That works out at earnings of over £10,000 a week. Christopher, 66, and Jayne, 67, were coaches on Dancing On Ice from 2006 until it ended the first time around in 2014. When the ITV show returned in 2018, they became head judges on the panel alongside Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse. It was confirmed in March that the ITV show had been shelved with no plans for a new series. Former Dancing On Ice pro Alex Murphy suggested Torvill and Dean's plans to retire might have had something to do with the show being axed. She told The Sun: 'Torvill and Dean are national treasures. They are fantastic people, and the most iconic skaters in the skating world as a whole, not just England, and I think Britain sometimes doesn't recognise that, or even notice that they are iconic to the world. 'So it's their show. I just love that. It's their show. So whenever they're ready, I think, then that's when it will go.' The pair, both from Nottingham, first partnered in 1975 and have skated together ever since. Dancing On Ice legend breaks silence on show axe Their competitive career culminated in the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo where the 12 perfect 6.0 scores, a feat that secured them the gold medal and captivated 24 million British television viewers. After turning professional, they embarked on successful world tours and created numerous ice shows. A change in Olympic rules allowed them to return for the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, where they earned a bronze medal.

Oasis star Liam Gallagher puts bad boy days behind him as he's joined by surprise guest on reunion tour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIAM GALLAGHER was regarded as the bad boy of rock 'n' roll in his Nineties heyday. But things have clearly changed as I can reveal that mum Peggy is keeping a beady eye on him during his Oasis Live '25 Tour with brother Noel. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Liam Gallagher has invited mum Peggy to join Oasis on their record-breaking reunion tour Credit: Getty 9 Peggy has will be keeping a beady eye on Liam and Noel at their London gigs Credit: Getty She has been staying with her son during their sold-out gigs — with the pair spending quality time together in between dates. And I have been told that she will be the proudest mum in Britain next week when she heads to London's Wembley Stadium to see her sons Noel and Liam on stage next Saturday. It will be the first time in 16 years that she has seen the brothers perform together. Plus Peggy will also get to watch her other son Paul Gallagher do a DJ set before Noel and Liam take to the stage. A source said: 'Liam is incredibly close to Peggy and has loved spending time with her during the tour. 'She is really looking forward to seeing all three of her boys on stage at Wembley. 'Peggy has always stayed out of their disagreements and just wants the best for her sons.' And it seems that Peggy is a good influence on Liam, who has not posted on X since the tour kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. A source added: 'Liam has been keeping his head down and concentrating on the tour. His main priority is staying in the best mindset possible.' Liam Gallagher's heartwarming tribute during Oasis gig revealed - but did you spot it? Biz on Sunday revealed last year that Peggy wasn't fussed that Noel and Liam had reconciled for an Oasis tour. HEAD TO LONDON Of their reunion, Noel said: 'My mum couldn't give a s**t. My mum never gave a s**t — never. You know what Irish mums are like? 'When we told her we were getting back together, she said, 'Sure that will be nice'. That was it.' Noel and Liam are set to perform their fifth show at Manchester's Heaton Park tonight. The Manchester-born brothers will head to London next Friday, where they will perform five nights — with an additional two in the capital in September. London is about to get a Northern makeover. Meghan shore is smitten 9 Megan Thee Stallion models a plunging bikini as she enjoys the glow of her new relationship Credit: TNI Press 9 Megan says she is happy with new boyfriend Klay Thompson, a four-time NBA champion Credit: Getty MEGAN THEE STALLION brightens up our day by modelling a plunging bikini on the beach. The rapper, who posted the hot pictures on Instagram, was glowing again this week as she made her red carpet debut with US basketball star Klay Thompson, in New York. The pair looked every inch the happy couple as they arrived holding hands at her Pete & Thomas Foundation fundraiser at Gotham Hall. Gushing about her relationship to Page Six, Megan said: 'This is my first relationship where I have ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me happy.' Frown and out 9 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz looked solemn as they went out in St. Tropez Credit: Splash BROOKLYN BECKHAM and Nicola Peltz looked serious as they headed out in the South of France. The couple, in the midst of a family feud, appeared to have a lot on their minds while they strolled holding hands in Saint-Tropez. Nicola channelled the look of the season in some black capri trousers with a faux-fur stole over her shoulders. And it seems that the pair are enjoying spending time by the sea, with Brooklyn recently describing his wife as 'my sexy little mermaid'. I trust their trip went swimmingly. Low's Avril high ROCK band All Time Low have revealed that they have secret tracks in the locker with Avril Lavigne. Guitarist Alex Gaskarth says that the Canadian singer is a huge fan of their new track Suckerpunch, and messaged the band to say how much she loved it. He told Biz on Sunday: 'It's funny the amount of things that you work on that never see the light of day.' Alex, who will kick off the Everyone's Talking! Tour with the band in October, said: 'I will say that Avril was very complimentary and very sweet about the song.' The singer collaborated with All Time Low in 2023 on the track Fake As Hell. Alex adds: 'Avril is a great friend. It's always nice when you get a text from Avril, like, 'New song slaps'.' Tinie's up for saving clubs 9 Tinie Tempah is joining the fight to keep nightclubs open across the country Credit: Sophia Carey FIFTEEN years since bursting on to the music scene, rapper Tinie Tempah has returned with new track Eat It Up – and he's joining the battle to keep our nightclubs open. With the song having all the qualities of a club banger, Tinie's track will be a big help for venue bosses fighting to fill their dancefloors. The London-born hitmaker has joined forces with the Night Time Industries Association on its The Last Night Out campaign, after it was announced three clubs are closing every week in the UK. In an exclusive chat with Biz on Sunday, Tinie said: 'Without nightclubs, I would not be where I am today. 'If it wasn't for the 10,000 hours I put in at all the amazing music venues all across the country, I would definitely not be talking to you now.' Meanwhile, dad-of-two Tinie said he still loves going out, and his favourite tipple is a tequila and ginger beer. He said: 'Just because you have kids, it doesn't necessarily change who you are as a person. I'm a very proud father. I'm an artist as well.' He added: 'It's a part of what I do, as someone who has a publishing company and is always looking at new talent, I want to be where I can hear the music first.' Of his new track title, Tinie said: 'People say, you know, just lap it up, eat it up, soak it up. 'We come with the best energy, the best sonic. That is basically what Eat It Up is about. 'And also subtly encouraging people to be in a space where, you know, they're just having fun and letting loose.' Sounds like my kind of night. MESSY singer Lola Young seems open to meeting someone, as I can reveal she has signed up to celeb dating app Raya. She has synced her page to the song Brick by Ben Folds Five. A source said: 'She has been working hard on her album, but is also looking to dip her toe in the world of dating.' Mae: Isle succeed AFTER dropping her first EP as an independent artist on Friday, Mae Muller says the five-track My Island is her 'best writing yet'. Speaking to Biz on Sunday, the singer revealed: 'My writing is the best it's ever been, partly because I've learnt to trust my own instincts. "Not having a label has forced me to trust myself, which is a really powerful tool.' Mae – who left Capitol Records UK last year – revealed that the single In My Head (I Hate It Here) was inspired by bands Wolf Alice and The Shins and the lyrics fell out of her like 'word vomit'. She added: 'It's lonely wondering how you're perceived, but what I realised is that you care more than anyone else.' I couldn't agree more, Mae. Planners battle for Dua wedding 9 Wedding planners are lining up after Dua Lipa's engagement to Callum Turner Credit: Instagram/@dualipa SHE finally confirmed her engagement in June after debuting a sparkling rock on her finger. And now Dua Lipa – whose actor boyfriend Callum Turner popped the question last year – is becoming hot property in the world of posh weddings. I have been told that luxury planners already have their eyes on the prize and would love to put together the couple's big day. Elite events organiser Camilla Boniek has started following Dua on Instagram after arranging Millie Bobby Brown's wedding to Jake Bongiovi in a secret ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, last year. Meanwhile, Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor, who recently organised the marriage of top fashion influencer Madeleine White and DJ Andrew Fedyk in Greece, are also following the pop star. And GSP Events – known for working with high profile clients on their marriage celebrations, and who have their services listed in posh mag Tatler's Address Book as the creme de la creme of wedding planners – have also connected with Dua. A source said: 'Dua and Callum's wedding will be THE nuptials of the year. 'Planners from across the globe will be vying for this job.' Speaking to Vogue earlier this year about her ring, Dua said: 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Sounds like Dua and Callum are a match made in heaven. A silent night Olly? 9 Olly Murs cheekily hushed a band while on a night out partying in Soho Credit: Nick Suchak IT looks like Olly Murs fancies a quiet one as he hushes a band on a night out in London. The Troublemaker singer – currently on his 15 Years Of Hits Tour – put a finger to his lips with a phone at his ear as he partied in Soho. I have heard whispers that Olly was gathering content for a new music video after debuting single Save Me on his arena trek. A source said: 'He wants to go back to his roots with the music video and show off his cheeky personality. 'Fans have gone wild for Save Me and Olly will no doubt put his all into making the best music video as well.' Olly also played arcade machines on his night out. Good to see he's still in the game . . .
