The Celebrity Truth

John Mayer has debuted a new 80’s inspired hairstyle and had a laugh at his own expense, writing on his blog that he’s "excited" to be bringing the "feathered cut" back.

After photos of Mayer appeared online sporting the new haircut, he took to his website to poke fun at himself.

"Today I set off on my newest project; to grow and maintain an authentic ’80s style feathered haircut. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for some time and I’m very excited to bring this amazing look into today’s pop culture landscape. The feathered cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.

This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement."

Additionally, Mayer posted several photos of ’80’s celebrities, including Michael J Fox and Kristy McNichol, stating that they were his "inspiration" for the cut.
