John Mayer is putting his grief into song for the late Bob Saget. The musician opened up about the way he plans to immortalize Saget and their friendship while speaking to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM on February 10, as he described his tribute song as being his “friend” and a “little collection plate for ideas or thoughts I have about Bob.”
“I work on it when I’m in the car and driving. I know how the song goes,” he continued, explaining that he adds to it daily, and noting, “This song that I have is very much this connected tissue I have to him.” Mayer also opened up about how honest the two were about their love for one another, telling Cohen, “I loved that guy so much. That one was just no question. 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.”
Mayer has been open about his grief since Saget’s passing, first sharing a tribute on Instagram on January 10. He posted a white square alongside the caption, “I will never forget you. I will visit you often in my memories, and I hope I get to see you in my dreams. I will tell my kids about you. I’m taking you with me forever. I love you, Bob.” Mayer then followed that with a series of photos, calling Saget his “brother.”
