John Mayer and McG Set to Buy Famed Jim Henson Studios for $60 Million

A spokesperson for Mayer tells TMZ … John and McG are shelling out a whopping $60 million to nab the deed to the Tinseltown vacationer spot.

That is an sudden plot twist for the storied lot … as Fab Manufacturing facility Studios — a music manufacturing agency run by Steven and Shaun Fabos — reportedly had a maintain on the land with plans to lock within the deal.

The daddy-son duo is claimed to have ties to Scientology … with Shaun notably testifying in Danny Masterson‘s rape trial again in October 2022.

Jim Henson — the genius behind The Muppets, “Fraggle Rock,” and “Labyrinth” — acquired the property in 1999 for $12.5 million.
