Steve Miller Band unveiled their tour schedule in March, and in May they disclosed that this series of live performances would traverse North America, beginning on the East Coast in August. Shows in San Diego, Inglewood, and Anaheim were scheduled for November. Although this announcement was made during a time of global climate emergencies like the devastating floods in the Northeast and Texas, the band did not specify which locations or weather conditions might impact their tour.

However, when they closed their statement with a wish for “peace, love, and happiness,” it seemed the online community was anything but united in response. On Instagram, some followers sympathized with the band’s decision to cancel the tour, while others found the rationale behind it somewhat peculiar and speculated on potential reasons for such an abrupt cancellation.

Fans visiting the website are now met with the cancellation notice.
