John Mayer Injures Finger Before Las Vegas Shows

John Mayer has sustained an injury to his left index finger after an encounter with a truck door, but he remains committed to performing with Dead & Company during their 'Dead Forever' residency in Las Vegas. Mayer shared on Instagram that the injury has left his finger out of commission, noting, 'I really need that finger in a week' as it plays a crucial role in his guitar playing. Despite the setback, he has adapted by practicing with his other three fingers and feels confident about his performance. He expressed a deep connection to the shows, stating, 'every part of me belongs to these shows,' and highlighted his responsibility to return to the stage. The residency runs until August 10, and Mayer is determined to continue despite the challenges of playing with a unique setlist each night. He reassured fans, 'the power of the music and the love for these shows will prevail.'
