"John Mayer is slow dancing in a burning room. The singer has surfaced for the first time since he and girlfriend Katy Perry broke up, as he was photographed in NYC on Thursday, Feb. 27.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nMayer, 36, dressed casual for the outing, wearing jeans, boots, and a navy and red knitted zip-up jacket. He also donned glasses and rocked a blue backpack.\r\nAs previously reported, Mayer and Perry, 29, announced their split on Feb. 26 after nearly two years of dating. The breakup was &amp;quot;mutual&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;extremely amicable,&amp;quot; an insider told Us. Added another source: They &amp;quot;made the mature decision that it was the right time.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe on-again, off-again twosome may have ended their relationship on good terms, but an insider told Us they&amp;apos;ve been arguing for some time. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s stressed about the tour, they&amp;apos;ve been fighting. It is probably for the best, because she is going to be on tour for forever. Of course this happens all the time, I can&amp;apos;t keep track anymore. But for now they are done.&amp;quot;\r\nAnother added: &amp;quot;Not sure how long it will last this time but yes, it is off for now.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWith Mayer away in NYC, Perry, meanwhile, has quickly dropped the title of girlfriend in lieu of another -- aunt. &amp;quot;Finally you can add &amp;apos;helps delivers babies in living rooms&amp;apos; to my resume,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Wide Awake&amp;quot; singer tweeted on Feb. 26. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s been a miracle of a day...Auntie Katy aka Stylist Auntie.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
