Watch Tony Bennett And John Mayer’s “One For My Baby” Video
Sat Feb 4 2012 by Idolator Staff
Tony Bennett pulled out all the stops for his Grammy-nominated Duets II album, joining forces with some of the most talented musicians of the last decade such as Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga. And the streak continues as we get a music video for his sonic rendezvous with John Mayer, "One For My Baby (One More For The Road)." The two do some old-fashioned lounge-style riffing as we spy them in the studio (in suits, of course — this is Tony Bennett we're talking about). Fortunately, there seems to be no nude sketching to speak of. Watch it below.

Tony Bennett ‘Duets’ PBS Special To Feature Carrie Underwood, Michael Buble
Tue Jan 3 2012 by Robbie Daw
Ahead of this year's Grammys, at which Tony Bennett's Duets II will be competing for the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album award, the legendary crooner's PBS Thirteen's Great Performances special will air on January 27. And, naturally, he'll have some famous faces along for the ride. Those performing with Bennett on the special (which airs at 9 p.m.) include Carrie Underwood, Michael Buble, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Faith Hill and Justin Bieber enthusiast k.d. lang. So far there's no word on whether Lady Gaga will be re-paying the favor to Tony by making an appearance.

Wed Dec 14 2011 by Becky Bain

Other acts on the bill include John Mayer, Janelle Monae, Jill Scott, Feist, Foo Fighters, Bon Iver and Ne-Yo.

John Mayer Cancels Gigs, Pushes Album Back Due To Inflammation
Fri Sep 16 2011 by Becky Bain
We haven't heard much from John Mayer lately (in regards to both music and inappropriate comments about ex-girlfriends), and it may be some time until we do. Due to an inflammation of his vocal chords caused by a condition called granuloma, Mayer is forced to cancel his upcoming performance at the iHeartRadio music fest in Las Vegas, as well as an appearance with Tony Bennett in Los Angeles. His forthcoming LP, Born And Raised, will also be delayed a release until next year, as he has yet to lay vocals down on every track. Get better soon, John! [Via EW Music Mix]

Pop Music’s 13 Biggest Fails Of 2010
Mon Dec 20 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Unfortunately, 2010 couldn't be all Gaga mega-music videos and Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies. As the year comes to its close, it's time to revisit and reflect on some of pop's biggest faux pas from the past year — how else are our favorite artists going to learn from their mistakes unless we rake them over the coals one last time? We've compiled music's 13 lowest moments from the last twelve months, and though Miley's birthday trip to Salvia Land is on the list, it didn't make number one — jump below to see what did.

John Mayer Somehow Links Malaria To Justin Bieber In His PSA
Fri Oct 29 2010 by Becky Bain
Even when John Mayer is trying to be serious — which, let's be honest, is a rare occurrence — he still can't stop joking around. The skateboarding singer filmed a PSA for the Malaria No More campaign, and he spread the word about the millions of deaths caused by malaria in Africa by sending up his celebrity status, dropping F-bombs and namedropping the likes of Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers. (At least he had the good sense to zip his lip about Taylor Swift, unless, of course, he'd like another song not-so-subtly written about his womanizing ways). Watch both of John's inappropriately humorous PSAs below.

Mayer isn't exactly a shy guy, and instead of shrugging it off as another inaccurate gossip story about his love life, the singer responded via an incensed Tumblr post. Don't get John Mayer angry! You wouldn't like him when he's angry!
