"Well, here I am," John wrote on his official Tumblr blog following the Aug. 27 procedure. "Silent for the next few months, no singing for probably six, but all signs point to this being the last step in getting to perform again," The Born and Raised creator explained.
This is Mayer's second debilitating throat operation in just over a year. Last October (2011), the singer underwent surgery to remove a first granuloma.
Mayer revealed how he will be communicating in the coming months, writing, "Back to notebooks and iPad to communicate for the time being. Zen living at its finest... so if you see me out and about and I don't answer you when you say hello, I'm not ignoring you. Promise."
John goes on to reassure his fans that he'll do his best to not leave them hanging during his recovery period. "I'll try and post more on here," he said. "But I've gotten really good at keeping my thoughts to myself and I don't exactly see anybody starving for my take on things. But it might be fun to offer some kind of window into this very odd and slightly beautiful time."
