\n\tThe calamitous weather of recent years has taken many lives, caused billions of dollars\u2019 worth of damage and is changing the climate and economies of countries all over the globe. But the Steve Miller Band\u2019s 2025 North American tour may be the first to be canceled due to the ongoing trend of climate change-inducted weather disasters, rather than any single event.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe band has canceled all 31 scheduled dates of its American tour, which was slated to begin Aug. 15 in Bethel, NY and traverse the entire country before concluding in Anaheim, Calif. on Nov. 8.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe band made the announcement in a straightforward tone familiar to fans of the 81-year-old veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, whose career stretches back to the mid-1960s and has released such classic rock anthems as \u201cThe Joker,\u201d \u201cFly Like an Eagle,\u201d \u201cJet Airliner,\u201d \u201cTake the Money and Run\u201d and many more. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cDear Steve Miller Band fans,\u201d it reads in full. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cYou make music with your instincts<\/p>\n
\n\tYou live life by your instincts<\/p>\n
\n\tAlways trust your instincts\u2026<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour ates.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 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 \u2026<\/p>\n
\n\tYou can blame it on the weather\u2026 The tour is cancelled.<\/p>\n
\n\tDon\u2019t know where, don\u2019t know when\u2026 We hope to see you all again.<\/p>\n
\n\tWishing you all peace, love and happiness.<\/p>\n
\n\tPlease take care of each other.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tMiller\u2019s career received a boost from his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016, and he has been reissuing select items from his catalog since moving it all over to Universal Music Group the following year. He remains a strong performer, but his age and the dim prospects of weather trends improving in the foreseeable future means that another tour seems unlikely. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
