Bob Saget dead at 65

John Mayer is remembering his friend, comedian Bob Saget, shortly after the "Full House" star died suddenly at age 65 on Sunday night.

The singer paid tribute to his close friend in an emotional post on social media.

"I love you, Bob. I will never forget you. I will visit you often in my memories, and I hope I get to see you in my dreams," Mayer wrote on Instagram. "I will tell my kids about you. I’m taking you with me forever. I love you, Bob."

Mayer met Saget in the early 2000s when the "America's Funniest Home Videos" host asked him to perform at a benefit for his Scleroderma Research Foundation. Saget's sister, Gay, lost her life to the autoimmune disorder in 1994.

Saget recalled his then-budding friendship with Mayer in a June 2021 interview on Q104.3 New York.

"It wasn’t a question of, ‘Can I get him on?’ You know? And then he sang something after trying to do some funny, perverted farm animal jokes that I, of course, said, ‘Oh, do that!’ And then we just started being friends," he shared. "He is a miraculous friend."
