LOS ANGELES, CA – John Mayer performed at Michael Jackson’s memorial last night. Sources confirm that Mayer was never invited and instead snuck in.
Crowds were surprised at the Staples Center last night in Los Angeles when John Mayer took to the stage. Up to that point the performers at Michael Jackson’s tribute memorial had been people close with the star.
Sources confirm that John Mayer snuck into the Staples Center to perform last night. Security camera footage shows the 31-year-old crooner climbing fences and sneaking past guards to get in the building. At one point he put a lone security guard in a sleeper hold, then stuffed him in a locker before moving closer to the stage. Once in the backstage area, no one questioned Mayer’s presence.
Backstage Mayer attempted to fit in with the properly billed artists. He tried to make small talk with Diana Ross, and other legends of Motown but was consistently shot down. Quincy Jones tried to make the boy feel welcome before quickly losing his patience with him. In the end Mayer spent most of his time standing in a corner with Corey Feldman, whose Michael Jackson outfit made many wonder if he had started doing drugs again.
At what was supposed to be an intermission John Mayer took to the stage. The audience wondered why the house lights had come up for his performance, and why he was not on the program. Mayer’s performance was highly out of place between the various musical legends and tribute acts. Both Bubbles the Chimp and LaToya Jackson had to be kept from flinging poo at the stage. At the end of his song Mayer received polite applause from the bewildered crowd before he ran off stage and into the night.
No official criminal charges will be filed against John Mayer for trespassing at the Staples Center. However Macauley Culkin has sworn a vendetta against John Mayer and is believed to be seeking vigilante justice.

You should really be ashamed of yourself for making up such lies and putting down such a brilliant musician such as John Mayer!!! His performance was respectful and heartfelt….a class act! Maybe you could take a lesson or two from Mr. Mayer!!!…

Even I, a die hard Mayer fan, was not offended by this article. I took it as a spoof…a joke…nothing personal. I just hope JM does. John was asked by the Jackson family to perform at the services. Wise choice. They know quality when they hear it. Awesome! I love JM!

Even I, a die hard Mayer fan, don't take this seriously. It's a joke…I just hope John sees it that way. He's the one I'm concerned for. We all know John was asked to play by the Jackson family. What an incredible honor. I think he did them and our beloved Michael proud.

Even I, a die hard Mayer fan, am not offended by this article. I take it as a joke…not seriously. John was awesome AND INVITED by MJ's family to perform

It's a good thing celebrities don't actually read the stuff written about them. I agree this nonsense was totally unnecessary.

Ha ha ha, this is funny crap.

This is not the first time Mr. Mayer has shown erratic behavior. Jennifer Aniston finally dumped him after he started licking and innappropriately fondling the guests at her last birthday party.

Who's John Mayor??
July 10th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
where did you get your information buddy ? its all crap, stop cut copy and pasting

Damn you to HELL you pathetic imbisel!!! You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to make one of the most INCREDIBLE guitarist’s/singer’s of all time, look bad, and stupidly failing 2 do so!!!
Your mother should slap herself in the face for ever giving birth to you!!! I recommend that you find a gun and shoot yourself in the head for being so STUPID, and rudely disrespecting the King of Pop (Michael Jackson), in lying about this false action, which never occur at MJ’s memorial service!!!
You are INDEED a DISGRACE to the Human Society, and should be deported to Iraq (not to fight for our country) TO DIE WITHOUT A PURPOSE!!!

OMG! You peeps need to get a LIFE with a SENSE OF HUMOR attached. Even MJ himself would smile at this silly little article. Michael was brilliant and wove subtle humor into his performances, videos, etc.. And if you ever saw John Mayer in a skit with Dave Chappell, you know he has a sense of humor, too. It's just a light-hearted footnote after days of somber memorials. It's clever and well-written, but it's NOT SERIOUS, FOLKS. If you think this is mean-spirited, stay away from the Onion — it might make you cry.

JOHN just said on CNN he never met MJ so what did mayer have in common with the gloved one? ANYWAYS bottom line MJ had to face child molestation charges because of whack jobs like this writing and or reporting crap "WORD"

I just read another article that John Mayer and Magic Johnson were arrested after breaking into a KFC in Westwood, CA late at night after the manager told the pair they were closed for the evening. What the heck is going on!
July 16th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Makes sense after the KFC thing with J Mayer and Magic. They two in hot water now!
