I’m sorry, John Mayer fans…I have some bad news for you…
The singer/songwriter is being forced to cancel two upcoming concerts, as well as postpone the release of his next album until next year because of vocal cord issues.
On his blog, Mayer announced that he had developed a granuloma in his throat. He wrote:
“After several months of going week to week monitoring and hoping to correct the condition, I am forced to cancel my upcoming singing engagements due to something next to my vocal cords called a granuloma.
I’m bummed to have to bow out of both the iheartradio Music Festival in Las Vegas and an appearance with Tony Bennett in Los Angeles. I know there were people depending on me to be there and I’m sorry that I can’t be on those stages.
‘Born and Raised’ is complete as far as music recording, song selection, and in some cases mixing, but because of this condition I couldn’t finish singing on several of the tracks. This means the record will be released next year instead of this fall or winter.
This is a temporary setback, though I’m not sure how long or short a period of time it will be. I’ve got the best doctors in the country looking after me and I will be singing and touring again as soon as I get the all clear. Until then I’ll be spending time writing and composing more music and kicking an empty soup can around the West Village.”
No word on how serious the granuloma is, but at least he’s able to keep a sense of humor about it…
All in good time.
