Pop star John Mayer has paid tribute to the victims of a recent ferry accident during his first South Korean concert tour on Tuesday

Before rolling out the evening's program, John Mayer appeared with a yellow ribbon designed to pay tribute to the victims of the disaster and he thanked fans for allowing him to proceed with his concert and said he would be dedicating all of the songs performed to victims of the tragedy, adding that he hoped his music would help heal those affected. The performance lasted about two hours as he crooned 19 numbers, including his Grammy-winning "Your Body Is a Wonderland," "Queen of California","Gravity" and "Vultures."

John mayer also announced that all proceeds from merchandise sales would go to relief aid for the disaster. Recovery efforts are still underway for missing persons, as divers navigate the 6,825-ton ferry that is underwater near the southwest coast of Korea. Poor weather conditions have delayed the process in the area that is notorious for its strong, murky currents.

Mayer's tour marks the 14th edition of Hyundai Card's "Culture Project" series, which featured concerts by Beyonce and Kraftwerk as well as various art exhibitions.
