Mayer’s currently recovering from throat surgery and can’t actually sing any of the songs off his new album during the press rounds. However, he has been active on the interview circuit and has been keeping up with his fans via his Tumblr account. Thanking his fans for their continued support, Mayer said being able to get back in touch with his fans has been one of the things he’d been looking forward to doing with this album’s release.
Acknowledging the fact he’s been unable to promote the album in the usual way due to his throat problems, Mayer said, “In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you.”
