John Mayer Completes Purchase of Jim Henson Studio Lot

In a fascinating turn of events, music superstar John Mayer has officially completed the purchase of the iconic Jim Henson studio lot, a historic site that has played host to numerous legendary musicians and unforgettable productions. The news, first reported by TMZ, reveals that Mayer, along with producer/director McG, finalized the deal for approximately $45 million, contrary to earlier speculations that the price might reach up to $60 million.

A Historic Location

Located in Hollywood, the Henson studio is not just a recording space; it’s a piece of entertainment history. Over the years, it has been the creative ground for musical giants like Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne, and the iconic Supremes. Notably, it is the storied location where the humanitarian anthem "We Are The World" was recorded, further reinforcing its legacy in the music industry.

Future Plans for the Studio

Under Mayer's oversight, the studio's recording operations will continue, while McG is set to manage the additional facilities on the lot. Insiders reveal that while a name change for the studio is on the horizon, Mayer and McG are intent on preserving the studio's historical significance. They plan to keep the existing staff and maintain the essence of what has made the studio a premier destination for artists on the West Coast.

A New Chapter for Mayer

This move marks a significant chapter in Mayer’s already illustrious career. Not only does he have a deep appreciation for music, but he also holds a personal connection to the property, as he has been operating out of the building for some time. With this acquisition, fans can expect exciting developments as Mayer looks to breathe new life into the studio while honoring its rich legacy.
