Mayer told Ellen DeGeneres in December of his surgery:

"They cut this thing out, then they inject your vocal cords with Botox, which freezes [them] so [they] can heal without smacking up against the other side. I just need more Botox next time."

The singer, who is dating pop princess Katy Perry, revealed how he was keeping busy during his singing hiatus, explaining:

"I can't sing, so I'm writing. I live in Montana – middle of nowhere.

"It's really excellent. You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness.

"Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy. I remembered to get happy."
