They’re afraid to fly like eagles.
The Steve Miller Band was scheduled to carry out on the New York State Truthful, and two different live shows upstate in August – however, on Wednesday, the traditional rock group abruptly canceled their whole 2025 tour.
Their cited motive was the climate, even though their tour was occurring throughout a variety of days that can have totally different climate circumstances.
The band made the announcement on social media Wednesday evening.
Of their observe, they wrote, “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.”
The assertion continued, “You can blame it on the weather…the tour is cancelled.”
Followers on social media had been baffled.
“This seems like an odd reason to cancel a tour,” one Instagram remark stated, whereas one other critic remarked, “the weather has been the weather since the existence of Earth. What’s the real reason?”
“Blame it on the weather while other musicians are performing all over America,” one other individual slammed. “Something else must be going on behind the scenes??”
“Love ya Steve but this is rather strange,” one other fan remarked. “Somehow all other bands are managing. Maybe tour in the winter?”
Others had been extra supportive, writing, “This man is 81 years old….feel lucky we have gotten to see him play live this long.”
One other fan berated the unfavourable response, writing, “Jesus Christ, we have some bitter and selfish people in this world. Steve has been doing this for decades and has earned the right to play by his own rules. Have some class, people.”
The Steve Miller Band fashioned in 1966 in San Francisco, Calif. The group went on to rack up seminal ’70s hits, together with “Take the Money and Run,” “Rock’n Me” and “Fly Like an Eagle.”

Miller was inducted into the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame as a solo artist in 2016.
Throughout a 2023 interview with the Put up, Miller, 81, stated, “The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has always been kind of an unpleasant, you’re-in-or-you’re-out kind of world … It’s kind of snotty. Everybody wants the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to mean something … but in fact it doesn’t.”
He stated that he’s prouder of being inducted into the Songwriters Corridor of Fame in 2022.
“Yeah, that’s much bigger than the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” he famous. “For me, that was really special.”
The band had 31 dates scheduled, beginning with an Aug. 15 present in Bethel Woods, N.Y. The tour had been slated to finish with a present in Anaheim, Calif., on Nov. 8.
