Classic rocker Steve Miller has canceled his U.S. tour because he said severe weather including extreme heat and unpredictable flooding poses a danger to his band, its fans and crew.

The tour was set to kick off in August and run through early November, with nearly three dozen stops across the U.S. including cities in New York, Tennessee, Florida and California.

“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,” Miller, 81, said in a statement posted on the band’s social media accounts Wednesday. “You can blame it on the weather. … The tour is cancelled.”

The donation will come from Miranda, the Miranda Family and Miranda Family Fund, and the “Hamilton” cast.

According to the petition filed last month in a Walton County court, Littrell has attempted to deter people from entering by placing “no trespassing” signs and marking the property line with chairs, small tables, and umbrellas.
