John Mayer Cancels Spring Shows
John Mayer has canceled his upcoming spring tour and taken an indefinite leave from performing due to a medical condition. The seven-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter posted to his website Friday, March 9, that a scope of his vocal chords revealed, ?the granuloma has grown back where it had mostly healed.??
?Because of this, I have no choice but to take an indefinite break from live performing ? it [granuloma] will sideline me for a longer period of time than I care to have you count down.?
Along with his spring tour, Mayer also had to cancel his headline set at the South by Southwest Music Conference this Saturday, and an April appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. His forthcoming album Born and Raised is still on track for its May 22 release date.
Jack White Kicks Off Solo Tour
\>");In the 15 years since Jack White formed the White Stripes, he?s gone on to grace the cover of Rolling Stone, made it to No. 17 on its ?Greatest Guitarists of All Time? list, formed The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, and record label Third Man Records (TMR), and collaborated with everyone from Loretta Lynn to Alicia Keys.
He?s now embarking on his first solo tour in support of his new album Blunderbuss. The first four shows have sold out leading up to his appearance at the TMR showcase at the South by Southwest Music Conference on March 16. His tour continues, including stops at the Hangout Music Festival in Alabama, Sasquatch! in Washington, and Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. The release date for his new album is April 23.

Jason Donovan?s New Disc Customizable
Platinum-selling Australian musician, actor, and dancer Jason Donovan released his new album Sign of Your Love on March 12. What makes the release stand out is that it?s customizable.?
Donovan?s label, Polydor, paired up with MixPixie to allow fans to customize the release with text and photos. The track listing will remain the same, however, including the first track ?I Won?t Dance? which may be a tongue-in-cheek reference to his appearance on ?Strictly Come Dancing,? the U.K. version of ?Dancing with the Stars.? The 11-track, customized discs are currently available online, just in time for Mother?s Day.
?Disco Inferno? Singer Jimmy Ellis Passes
Jimmy Ellis, the unmistakable tenor voice from the Trammps, passed away on March 8 in Rock Hill, S.C., at the age of 74. The Trammps, an American disco band, were most recognized for their signature tune ?Disco Inferno? but also had hits with ?Hold Back the Night? and ?That?s Where the Happy People Go.??
The band continues to perform with a rotating lineup, but the original members, including Ellis, reunited for their induction to the Dance Music Hall of Fame in New York in 2005. Ellis continued to work with the band until his retirement in 2010. According to BBC.com, Ellis passed from complications from Alzheimer?s disease.
