John Mayer To Honor His 'Favorite' Person Bob Saget Through Music
John Mayer, who refers to Bob Saget as "one of my favorite people in the galaxy," is all set to honor the late comedian with his music.
Mayer sat for an interview with Andy Cohen to talk about his special friendship with Saget ahead of the SiriusXM and Pandora "Small Stage Series," which will mark the 44-year-old singer's first official show ever since the pandemic began, according to People.
"I have this song that's my friend, sort of my little collection plate for ideas or thoughts I have about Bob," Mayer told Cohen. "I put it in the plate and keep working on the song. I work on it when I'm in the car and driving. I know how the song goes. This song that I have is very much this connected tissue I have to him, and I just keep working on it."
"You just discover what is more to be loved in this lifetime and that was Bob's whole thing," the singer continued. "Bob knew how much I loved him mostly because I said, 'I love you too.' And he engendered that relationship with us. I would not have said it to him as much if he had not said it to me first repeatedly."
"I loved that guy so much. That one was just no question," Mayer added. "There are some times when we lose someone and we ask ourselves, 'What's my appropriate level of being upset? Where do I stand here in my level of upset?' That one was right over me. That was someone that everyone knew, that in real time was like, this is one of my favorite people in the galaxy, and I'm proud of this relationship."
The "Your Body Is a Wonderland" singer and the beloved "Full House" actor have been close friends for years. In fact, the late comedian called Mayer "one of his dearest friends on Earth" in an episode of Saget's podcast, "Bob Saget's Here for You," in May 2020.
The two of them have also been a part of each other's special occasions, like birthdays and weddings.
Saget was found dead in his Ritz-Carlton hotel room in Orlando, Florida, last month. He was 65 years old. Earlier this week, his family issued a statement about his cause of death, revealing that the comedian died from head trauma.
"The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma," the Saget family said, as per People. "They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved."
Mayer's interview with Cohen will air on SiriusXM's "Radio Andy" on Friday, at 7 p.m. ET.
