John Mayer will be playing guitar at the Las Vegas Sphere with Dead & Company for their “Dead Forever – Live at Sphere” residency, despite facing a recent challenge.
The "Your Body Is a Wonderland" singer shared on Instagram that he injured his left index finger in a truck door last week.
Mayer posted a photo of his bandaged finger and wrote, “The first thing that went through my mind was ‘I really need that finger in a week.' I need all my fingers, but the left index is the team captain of my fretting hand. It will heal just fine, but will be out of commission for a while.”
He explained, “In the meantime, I have spent every day practicing guitar using the other three fingers and I think I have it sounding pretty good!
