John Mayer put an end to weeks of relationship rumours in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last night, confirming his split with songstress Katy Perry.

'It was a very private relationship going in. It was a private relationship during, and it's a private relationship still,' Mayer explained.
He continued: 'I can understand asking the question [about our split] based on some previous answers I have given, but I have finally learned how to put the wall between one thing and the other.
'I've been much happier since then. I'm on the same journey as everyone else. Coupling is a tricky thing. It's a tricky thing. I want everyone to be happy.'
