"John Mayer is on the mend.\r\nThe 34-year-old singer/songwriter had surgery on Thursday to remove the granuloma (enlarged nodule) just above his vocal cord.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I am now on complete vocal rest for a month or more,&amp;quot; Mayer wrote on his Tumblr. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s been a very long process in waiting to see if time was an alternative to surgery, but even given two weeks&amp;apos; voice rest (along with many other approaches), there was no change for the better.&amp;quot;\r\nMayer first announced his diagnosis in September after he canceled a series of scheduled concerts and pushed back the release of his forthcoming album.\r\n\r\nThe &amp;quot;Heartbreak Warfare&amp;quot; singer added that the experience helped him appreciate his talent once again. &amp;quot;I should be frustrated but I can&amp;apos;t seem to stop thinking about beautiful things,&amp;quot; he wrote. &amp;quot;I never thought I&amp;apos;d be wishing I could do what I love again; I stay in at night, picking guitar parts off of records and dreaming of playing on the big stage.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The only difference between now and when I was 18 is that now I have this beautiful, meaningful record waiting for me when I can sing it.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
