Breaking Down Some Of The Stops On Bruno Mars' Upcoming Tour

Did anyone have a better 2013 than Bruno Mars? Doubt it. And performing at the Super Bowl as the first artist under 30 ever to do so in the most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history wasn’t a bad way to start 2014 either. Such is life these days for the kid born as Peter Gene Hernandez in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, where at age four he began performing with his family band The Love Notes. His early claim to fame? Becoming known around the island as “Little Elvis” for his Elvis impersonations as one of six children born into a family of musicians.

Mars began his music career producing music for other artists as a founding member of The Sweezingtons after moving to L.A. following high school. After lending his backing vocals to songs by B.o.B. and Travie McCoy (for which he also co-wrote the hooks), he was discovered for his own musical talents. His debut album, 2010’s Doo-Wops & Hooligans, spawned two of the highest-selling singles of all time: the monster hits “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade.” Mars earned his second Grammy and topped charts worldwide with his 2012 follow-up Unorthodox Jukebox. Mars has had five number one singles in just four years, achieving this milestone faster than any artist since Elvis himself — in addition to the 28-year-old pop star’s 10 million albums and 68 million singles sold to date.
