The next album from Guy Sebastian will feature John Mayer on guitar.

Guy has announced the news to his fans in his forum at his official website, guysebastian.com.au.

“So I think this may be the best day of my life,” he posted. “I’m in LA at the moment recording and the band I have playing sounds crazy. I have John Mayer on guitar/background vocals and the rest of his band playing. The groove is amazing to sing to”.

It is still early days for the album but it may surface in the first half of 2009.

Guy returns to Australia this week for more shows with the Australia Army band. He also has his own shows scheduled for next year.

Dates are:

November 7, Melbourne, Hamer Hall
November 13, Castle Hill, Hills Centre
November 15, Hobart, Wrestpoint
November 22, Darwin, Entertainment Centre
November 29, Townsville, Civic Centre

March 27, Melbourne, The Palms
March 28, Melbourne, The Palms
April 3 Sydney, Theatre Royal

I know nothing about Guy Sebastian other than his name and that he was apparently the first winner of Australian Idol. I'm skeptical now, but I'll have to take a listen before I pass any more judgment. (After all, my second guiltiest pleasure is Kelly Clarkson, pre-her most recent album.)

P.S. - I am severely missing John's long hair lately.
