" John Mayer has been forced to cancel two concerts and postpone the release of his new album due to ill health.  The &amp;#039;Half Of My Heart&amp;#039; singer announced that a planned gig in Los Angeles with Tony Bennett and a second date in Las Vegas next weekend had been axed due to the discovery of a granuloma - an inflamed nodule of tissue - near his vocal chords.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m bummed to have to bow out,&amp;quot; Mayer wrote on Tumblr. &amp;quot;I know there were people depending on me to be there and I&amp;#039;m sorry that I can&amp;#039;t be on those stages.&amp;quot; The 33-year-old added that his fifth studio LP Born And Raised would be postponed until late next year due to his vocal issues.  &amp;quot;[The album] is complete as far as music recording, song selection and in some cases mixing, but because of this condition I couldn&amp;#039;t finish singing on several of the tracks,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;This is a temporary setback, though I&amp;#039;m not sure how long or short a period of time it will be. I&amp;#039;ve got the best doctors in the country looking after me and I will be singing and touring again as soon as I get the all clear.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;gt; John Mayer: &amp;#039;I was a tweetaholic&amp;#039; Listen to John Mayer&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Perfectly Lonely&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
