Singer and former flame of one Ms Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer has put his career on hold due to a serious throat condition which has forced him to pull out from concert dates as well as put on hold his upcoming album titled ‘Born and Raised‘.

According to the crooner’s tumblr account, Mayer has been diagnosed with having a granuloma next to his vocal cords.

Among the canceled appearances was one with the legendary Tony Bennett which was set to take place in Los Angeles.

Mayer wrote “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.”

Not that wish anything negative on ANYONE, but does this mean he has no choice but to keep his mouth shut for awhile? Cuz, I’m thinking that might be in his favor. Seeing as he loves to put his foot in his mouth…
