Singer-songwriter John Mayer is recovering after having vocal cord surgery, his representative said Friday.

On Wednesday, Mayer posted on his Tumblr page:
“Well, here I am. 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. Back to notebooks and iPad to communicate for the time being. Zen living at its finest.”
The singer underwent surgery on Monday, the representative said.
