"John Mayer is to tour for the first time in three years. The singer-songwriter will play over 45 dates in 40 cities across North and South America this year.  Tickets for the tour, to support his 2012 studio album Born and Raised, are on sale through Mayer&amp;#039;s official website. Former American Idol winner Phillip Phillips has also been announced as opening Mayer&amp;#039;s shows as the support act. Mayer&amp;#039;s tour will begin at Milwaukee&amp;#039;s SummerFest on July 6 and finish in Loa Angeles on October 5. The 35-year-old, who reportedly split from girlfriend Katy Perry this week, took a hiatus from touring after suffering from several throat issues. Speaking to Billboard about having to work on repairing his vocal cords following unsuccessful surgery, Mayer described being able to perform again as &amp;quot;the greatest gift&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;My dreams were in escrow, but when I found out this thing in my throat had receded,&amp;quot; continued Mayer. &amp;quot;The most exciting thing for me was having a second chance at a new life. My dreams have come true twice. That&amp;#039;s really cool.&amp;quot; The full John Mayer tour dates are as follows April 25 - Tuscaloosa, AL \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8April 26 - New Orleans, LA July 6 - Milwaukee, WI July 7 - Maryland Heights/St. Louis, MO \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 9 - Cincinnati, OH \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 10 - Bonner Springs, KS \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 12 - Woodlands, TX \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 13 - Dallas, TX \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 16 - Morrison, CO \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 19 - Ridgefield, WA July 20 - George, WA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 22 - Paso Robles, CA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 24 - Wheatland, CA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 26 - Mountain View, CA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8July 27 - Irvine, CA August 6 - Cuyahoga Falls, OH \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 7 - Clarkston, MI \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 9 - Tinley Park, IL August 10 - Noblesville, IN \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 11 - Springfield, IL \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 13 - Darien, NY \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 14 - Toronto, ON August 16 - Hartford, CT \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 17 - Mansfield, MA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 20 - Bethel, NY \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 21 - Holmdel, NJ \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 23 - Camden, NJ August 24 - Virginia Beach, VA August 25 - Burgettstown, PA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8August 27 - Allentown, PA August 28 - Wantagh, NY August 30 - Saratoga Springs, NY August 31 - Bristow, VA September 1 - Atlantic City, NJ \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8September 4 - Charlotte, NC September 5 - Raleigh, NC September 7 - Tampa, FL September 8 - West Palm Beach, FL \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8September 17 - Buenos Aires, Argentina \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8September 21 - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil September 27 - Atlanta, GA October 1 - Albuquerque, NM October 2 - Phoenix, AZ \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8October 4 - San Diego, CA \u00E2\u20AC\u00A8October 5 - Los Angeles, CA "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
