Mayer admitted his recovery time is unknown. "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," the "Waiting on the World to Change" singer wrote.
