John Mayer has stopped singing -- but only for the time being.
The Grammy-winning musician, 33, has been diagnosed with granuloma, an inflamed nodule near his vocal chords, he wrote on his Tumblr blog recently.

Mayer explained to fans that he has endured "several months of going week to week monitoring and hoping to correct the condition," but he's now been advised to cancel several concert engagements, including the iheartradio Music Festival in Las Vegas and an appearance with Tony Bennett in Los Angeles.

His next album Born and Raised has also accordingly been delayed as he recuperates, he said. "The record will be released next year instead of this fall or winter.

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. "Until then I'll be spending time writing and composing more music and kicking an empty soup can around the West Village."

8This guy is a totally scum bag.
did ya acually say sing? you better believe it, paybacks b*t*h
People are so low. He didn't make the smartest choices so he deserves to have medical conditions? Seriously? You people don't know the details of his personal relationships. Taylor Swift knew his reputation before she got with him, and decided to anyway. She thought she could "change" him. She writes a song basically calling him a pedophile, and he's the wrong one? Yeah, right. I hope none of you ever made wrong choices, you must be perfect.
Wow mess finally caught up with him. It's not good to diss women. Hope he get better if this is not another one of his tricks. I'm not going to buy any of his music again any way.
Must be karma.
Must be karma.
He is very talented, hope he does get better.
I hope his condition improves greatly very soon! He's an exceptionally talented singer.
