He’s famous for enlisting the latest social media fads to connect with his fan, but now 32-year-old “Gravity” singer John Mayer says he’s had enough of Twitter.

Mayer famously caused major controversy earlier in the year when he talked up his sexual prowess and that of famous ex-girlfriends, such as Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, in a Playboy interview. Now he says he thinks Twitter’s purpose needs to be reinvented.

“Within in the last couple weeks, every night I think about cancelling my Twitter account because I think it’s pretty much done,” Mayer says. “I just think Twitter as a form of communication, I think it’s over to be honest with you. I would rather see Twitter be a cork board of links to other more important things, because it’s really sort of flawed from the beginning. I can’t tell you how many times I meet people or I’m having dinner with people who write stuff and they get upset they have haters now, like, ‘Why do I want to invent more reasons to have haters?”

The popular US singer, who is headed our way to perform as a guest at the upcoming TV Week Logie Awards, says he’s got better things to do with his spare time than spend them online. “I might as well spend that time making a sandwich or building a model ship or something,” he reckons. “My challenge going forward is to basically disregard the need, the obsessive need for external validation.”
