Iconic rock band makes cryptic statement, then abruptly cancels all tour dates. Why?
We're talking about the Steve Miller Band, which has canceled all dates of its American tour, which was slated to kick off next month in Upstate New York.
Among the 31 stops nixed, a considerable chunk were in Florida. Before stops in St. Augustine and Estero, the 'Fly Like an Eagle' singer was set to hit Hard Rock Live near Hollywood Oct. 5, and move on to Tampa.
The reason? Force majeure. Aka Mother Nature.
'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,' said the band's social media statement, explaining the abrupt move.
Gen-Xers and older may be the most disappointed by this news. The lead singer, 81, is responsible for such evergreen hits as 'The Joker,' 'Jet Airliner,' 'Take the Money and Run' and many more cool oldies.
Will Miller and his crew ever be back to grace stages again? Here's to hoping.
'Don't know where, don't know when… We hope to see you all again,' the statement concluded. 'Wishing you all peace, love and happiness. Please take care of each other.'
At least disappointed ticketholders don't need to do anything beside wallow in grief and watch grainy YouTube videos from the '80s. Refunds will reportedly be issued to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the event organizer.

From '1944' To 'The Madison': A Guide To Upcoming 'Yellowstone' Spin-Offs
As the sun sets over the legendary Dutton ranch, both die-hard fans and pop culture insiders alike are eager for the next act in Taylor Sheridan's ever-expanding small-screen Western universe. With Yellowstone and its prequels, 1923 and 1883 , already part of TV's recent golden age, it's clear: Sheridan isn't finished yet. Here's your up-to-date guide to what's next for the Yellowstone franchise — including confirmed spin-offs, wild fan theories, persistent casting rumours, and the historical periods about to get the Dutton treatment. Although there was a 40-year jump between 1883 and 1923 , the next Yellowstone installment will skip ahead just 21 years in the timeline. None of the 1883 cast reprised their roles in 1923 , but it's entirely possible that stars from 1923 — notably Brandon Sklenar as Spencer Dutton and Julia Schlaepfer as Alexandra — could appear in future series. Their storylines at the close of 1923 's first season have fueled widespread speculation that they'll carry the family torch in the franchise's next chapter. Here's a look at the upcoming projects poised to expand Sheridan's empire. Sticking with his decade-leaping pattern, Sheridan's next historical venture will be 1944 , taking the story into World War II–era Montana. The Duttons, again at a pivotal moment — with the world at war and American society transforming — face themes of sacrifice, change, and what it means to be a rancher in a rapidly modernising country. At the time of writing, 1944 is still a working title. While nothing has officially been confirmed yet, the fact that Spencer fought in the first World War before the events of 1923 , makes it entirely possible that he's drafted to fight in World War II as well. D-Day also occurs in June 1944, marking a major turning point for the end of the war. 1944 will also focus on the family's ranching history during a time when most able-bodied men were called to serve overseas. While casting details have yet to be announced, Jon Hamm, Anya Taylor-Joy, Florence Pugh and Paul Mescal are among the names currently being bandied around by fans who are clamouring for the stars to join the franchise. This series moves away from Montana, centering on Texas's historic Four Sixes Ranch — a locale introduced to viewers in Yellowstone 's fourth season. 6666 is set to explore modern cowboy culture, ranching politics, and the intersection of tradition with progress. According to its accompanying official release, the ranch — still operating much as it did under Comanche rule — remains a crucible for the 'merciless endeavour' of raising elite cattle and horses. While further details have yet to follow the spin-off's initial announcement in February 2021, the official press release read, 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing. The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavour to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately, where world-class cowboys are born and made. The series will be executive produced by Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, David Glasser, Ron Burkle and Bob Yari.' There are currently rumours circulating among fans that Jefferson White (Jimmy) will reprise his role for 6666 , and that the series will centre on a broader, Texas-centric story than its compatriots. The Madison Another series from the Yellowstone universe that's confirmed pivots away from the Dutton family legacy to focus on a more contemporary narrative. The Madison will tell the story of a grieving New York City family relocating to Montana's Madison River valley in search of renewal and connection. At the story's heart is Michelle Pfeiffer, who will be both star and executive producer, playing newcomer Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch seeking a fresh start after her husband's death. The Madison, which, as of July 2025, is in post-production , is set directly after the conclusion of Yellowstone , succeeding the Dutton narrative. Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) now run a ranch in Dillon, Montana, as revealed in Yellowstone 's final episodes — raising the possibility of crossovers or cameo appearances in The Madison . Young John Dutton Prequel While sources close to Sheridan aren't letting the cat out of the bag just yet, rumours persist about a prequel tracing John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) youth and the formative betrayals, romances, and power plays that shaped him. If the rumours currently whirring around the mill are to be believed, Cody Fern, Lucas Till, and even Jacob Elordi are all names that are being touted as potential casting options for a young John Dutton.

Myungrang Hotdog brings Korea's crispy craze to Columbus
After reading about America's Korean food craze, I finally visited one of Columbus' newer options, Myungrang Hotdog. Catch up quick: The South Korean chain has 15 U.S. locations and this is the only one in Ohio. It opened in 2022 and other local spots offering the viral snacks have followed, including Mochinut in Grandview and Chungchun Rice Dog inside Polaris. The vibe: Myungrang is no-frills — just an ordering counter in a small Short North storefront with standing-room table counters on either side. Plus: Expect lots of K-pop. Dogs are made-to-order, taking about 10 minutes, but it's worth it. The only way to eat them is hot and freshly out of the fryer. What I ate: First, the original hot dog ($5), in a "secret batter" that's deliciously crispy on the outside and light and chewy inside. Then an adventurous squid-ink dog ($7), with half meat and half mozzarella filling. The ink-infused batter makes it extra savory. There are several dipping sauces, from basic ketchup to sweet chili and cheesy mustard (my favorite). My take: The meat inside was surprisingly good and the gooey cheese was definitely TikTok-worthy. It's a dense treat that I probably couldn't eat often — but the same goes for American corn dogs. Stop by: Noon-8pm Sunday-Thursday. Open till midnight Friday and 1am Saturday. 850 N. High St. Menu. 🌏 This trip was part of our Eating Around the World series. Check out the other international foods we've mapped so far.

Jeff Tweedy Will Fight Our Dark Times With a New Triple Album
If you're a fan of Jeff Tweedy, you know that he writes a lot of songs. Not just in the sense that he's spent more than 30 years leading Wilco through one of the most rewarding and varied catalogs in American music, although that's also true. On the most literal level, Tweedy generally writes at least one song every day. 'I sincerely feel a need to have that in my life,' he told Rolling Stone in 2020, the year that he published a great book about this daily practice. 'I feel better when I do it, and I try not to miss days. It's like working out or something, almost.' All that songwriting has left Tweedy with enough strong material for a new triple album, Twilight Override, out Sept. 26 via Wilco's own dBpm Records. You read that right — three discs, 30 songs total. This is his first solo release since 2020's Love Is the King, which means this album represents something like the top 1.6 percent of all the songs he's written in the last five years. (Please don't check that math.) The crème de la crème, if you will. More from Rolling Stone Wilco's 'A Ghost Is Born' Box Set Is Full of Surprises and Treasures Jeff Tweedy on Garth Hudson: 'He Was Like a Sorcerer' Wilco and Waxahatchee Set U.S. Spring Tour Along with today's announcement, Tweedy has released four excellent new songs to help you get a handle on all this music. 'One Tiny Flower,' the first song on disc one, is a meditative folk song with a nervous energy pushing it forward. 'Out in the Dark,' from disc two, is an easygoing amble in brighter hues, with some fun burbling studio noises as the song goes on. 'Stray Cats in Spain,' from disc three, is a plunge into headier waters, with swirling strings and no audible percussion — just beautiful stuff. And 'Enough,' which is both the final track on the album and its 'radio single,' is an upbeat, catchy burst of folk-rock sunshine, complete with a sweet electric guitar solo. Right away, just from these songs, it's clear that Twilight Override is some top-shelf Tweedy, and they make you want to hear more. You can tell that he is on fire right now, creatively speaking. In a press statement, Tweedy explains that he sees creativity as a way of standing against all the darkness in the world today. 'Sort of an endless buffet these days — a bottomless basket of rock bottom,' he writes. 'Which is, I guess, why I've been making so much stuff lately.' It's hard to argue with that if you look at the news in this country and the rest of the world. He goes on to bring it back to his personal perspective: 'Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it's fucking overwhelming. It's difficult to ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back.' Tweedy recorded and produced Twilight Override at Wilco's Chicago studio, the Loft, with a band made up of some trusted collaborators: his sons Spencer (on drums) and Sammy (on synth and vocals), plus guitarist James Elkington, bass player Liam Kazar, and singers Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart (a.k.a. Chicago duo Finom). Some of the titles on the track list are familiar if you've attended any of Tweedy's solo shows in recent years or perused his Substack; others are surprises. One of them is called 'Lou Reed Was My Babysitter.' He's also announced a slew of solo tour dates, most of them taking place in October and November. (Before that, Wilco will spend August playing a few nights on the Outlaw Tour with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, followed by a run of 'An Evening With Wilco' shows.)
