John Mayer suffering from throat condition
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 September 2011
John Mayer has announced that he is cancelling all of his forthcoming singing commitments due to a throat condition. As well as tour dates, this also includes the final stages of recording for his next album, ‘Born And Raised’.
Mayer wrote on his blog: “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”.
He continued: “‘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”.
Although he was unable to put a time frame on his recovery, Mayer insisted that this was only a “temporary setback”.
