During the exclusive concert at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, Mayer jammed out in front of a jam-packed crowd, featuring stars like Heidi Klum and Vanessa Hudgens, before pausing the show briefly to help a concertgoer who had possibly fainted while he was performing “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.” Mayer resumed his performance after being told and reassuring the audience that the fan was alright.

Along with the concert — which aired live on SiriusXM’s The Spectrum (Ch. 28) and on the SXM App — Mayer sat down with Andy Cohen for an exclusive Radio Andy (Ch. 102) interview to discuss his music, upcoming tour and more before Cohen hosted the show; hear the interview below.
