Blame it on the weather.
Steve Miller canceled his entire summer tour, including dates in Atlantic City on August 22 and August 25 at PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey, due to the weather. Seriously.
“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 band said in a statement on Instagram. “The tour is cancelled.”
The statement comes the same week as massive floods were scene across New Jersey and New York, and a month after the flooding which caused the cancelation of Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee.
Many on social media expressed frustration and claimed that the tour was really cancelled due to low ticket sales.
Steve Miller Band has no upcoming shows scheduled for the rest of the year. The band played one show so far in February.
