John Mayer has canceled his recently announced U.S. tour and will take an indefinite hiatus from live performing due to the return of the granuloma in his throat. Mayer was treated for the same condition and placed on vocal rest in 2011. The 18-city tour was to be his first in the United States in two years. Ticket purchasers should refer to their point of purchase for refund details.
His new album Born and Raised will be released as planned on May 22, 2012.
“Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing. I love this band you were going to hear, I love the guys and girls I work with, and the only thing that stops me from devolving into a puddle of tears is knowing that it’s a long life, and the greatest gift in the world is being able to create music no matter what the circumstances,” wrote Mayer to fans via his tumblr blog earlier today.
Canceled concert appearances include:
Monday, April 9: Bloomington, IN; the IU Auditorium
Friday, April 13: West Lafayette, IN (Purdue University); Elliot Hall of Music
What a shame, love seeing John live. Rest up and give it a go next year. Good luck, man.
John Mayer should hire a lead singer and hit the road. I’d pay to just hear him play guitar.
We will wait, be well!!
Is there any way I can see how I voted for each song after the survey. Sometimes I don’t readily know what sone it is, but then when I see the songs I rated, I wonder if I said I “liked” or “loved.” (I don’t know if I’ve ever said anything less on one of your surveys. WTTS plays nothing, really, that I don’t like. Keep up the good work. You all give it a local feeling, too.
