About this listen
Bruno Mars has packed the past week with the kind of headlines most artists would kill for. First, he turned his 40th birthday into a viral sensation by sharing an AI-generated photo of himself as a wrinkly old man on social media. The internet, predictably, lost it—one fan claimed he looked like Pedro Pascal on meth, while others just flooded his posts with love and birthday wishes. Fellow artists, most notably BLACKPINK's Rosé, celebrated him in her Instagram Stories, a nod to their chart-shattering 2024 collaboration APT. PublicMinute writes that the playful post struck that classic Bruno comedic note, throwing his millions of followers into a friendly frenzy, showing yet again why his charm remains bulletproof.
That partnership with Rosé just won’t be out of the news. As reported by Vogue and further amplified by Sportskeeda, Rosé recently spilled during a Q and A that she and Bruno had the 'biggest fight' right before filming the APT. music video, but patched things up on set. The confession has split fans. Some online accuse Rosé of milking the Bruno Mars connection to stay headlines-relevant, while her defenders say she’s got every right to hype their collective Grammy campaign. Either way, the collaboration is undeniably one of 2024’s biggest pop moments and remains a recurring theme in social media discourse, especially as the song APT. heads into Grammy season with record and song of the year buzz.
With so much industry chatter about what’s next, the answer right now is Las Vegas. According to PublicMinute, Bruno Mars locked down an extended 2025 residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, with a string of sold-out shows spanning August, September, and two highly anticipated New Year’s dates. Insiders say each performance is classic Bruno: full band, horns, that signature dance crew, and the relentless crowd energy only he can command. No new global tour announcement yet, but rumors about expanded dates and possible new music keep fans guessing—and booking tickets just in case.
On the business side, Bruno’s empire continues to glitter. Kiddle notes he’s not only sold over 150 million records but also worked the brand circuit—from investments in tech like Chromatik, the hip SelvaRey Rum partnership, and most recently a commercial jingle for a Japanese retailer and a Hello Kitty 50th anniversary collab. No verified new business launches this week but his name keeps carrying weight in these pop culture and business circles.
My clear verdict: Bruno Mars’ birthday antics, the ongoing APT. press saga, and his high-octane Vegas presence have dominated both news and social feeds. The week may have included minor controversy, but it’s all biographically significant—forty never looked funkier, and Mars shows no signs of slowing down.
