On Wednesday July 16th the Steve Miller Band shared an announcement on their social media pages informing fans that "you can blame the weather" for the cancellation.

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. Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness. Please take care of each other. - Steve, The Band and the Crew
