Here’s a look at his shocking revelation and whether the injury will impact his upcoming performances.
How did John Mayer suffer injury?
In a lengthy Instagram post on August 1, John Mayer discussed his finger injury. He revealed that it occurred in a truck door accident.
Mayer wrote, “Last Thursday I injured my left index finger (truck door), and 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.”
Mayer has six shows lined up with his group Dead & Company in the coming days. However, fans are concerned about his ability to perform and play the guitar due to his injury.

According to Entertainment Tonight, John Mayer has taught himself to use his other fingers while dealing with the injury. He can still play the guitar despite the setback.
In the caption of his Instagram post, he mentioned, “I have spent every day practicing guitar using the other three fingers, and I think I have it sounding pretty good! I’ve always felt that every part of me belongs to these shows, and it’s my responsibility to return to the stage each night without messing up the equipment. I’m sorry for the misadventure here.”
Therefore, John Mayer is expected to perform as scheduled despite his finger injury and continue to play the guitar.
