The Doobie Brothers, seen here in 2015, have canceled their 50th anniversary tour.

Fans of the Doobie Brothers will have to wait until 2021 to “Listen to the Music” live.

The classic rock band announced Tuesday that their entire 50th anniversary tour will be postponed until 2021. Former frontman Michael McDonald has rejoined the band for the trek, marking his first full tour with the band since 1982.

That includes a Pittsburgh date originally scheduled for Aug. 6 at S&T Bank Music Park. The band will now visit on Sept. 4, 2021.

Best known for songs like “Black Water,” “China Grove,” “Takin’ it to the Streets” and “What a Fool Believes,” the Doobie Brothers will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year.
