John Mayer undergoes throat surgery
John Mayer has undergone throat surgery to remove a granuloma from just above his vocal cord.
The Daughters and Waiting For The World To Change hitmaker made the announcement on his blog, revealing he is now "on complete vocal rest for a month or more".
He writes, "It's been a very long process in waiting to see if time
was an alternative to surgery, but even given two weeks' voice rest
(along with many other approaches), there was no change for the
better."
He adds, "I should be frustrated but I can't seem to stop thinking
about beautiful things... I never thought I'd be wishing I could do
what I love again; I stay in at night, picking guitar parts off of
records and dreaming of playing on the big stage. The only
difference between now and when I was 18 is that now I have this
beautiful, meaningful record waiting for me when I can sing it.
"Until then, I'm taking off. Going to travel the country, look and
listen."
