FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (FOX 9) - Telling fans to "always trust your instincts" in an announcement on his website, a post from the Steve Miller Band says his upcoming tour – which included a stop at the Minnesota State Fair grandstand – has been canceled.

What we know:

Citing a combination of "extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires," the announcement says that the risks created for both the audience and crew were "unacceptable," and ultimately led to the decision to cancel the Aug. 28 show.

Noting that fans can "blame it on the weather," the post concludes by saying the band said that they "don’t know where, don’t know when" but that they "would hope to see you all again" when they resumed shows.

Announced earlier this year, the tour was set to make stops in 19 different states, including New York, Atlantic City and more.
