Bruno Mars Announces North American “Finale” of 24K MAGIC WORLD TOUR

11-time GRAMMY Award winner, Bruno Mars, has announced a "finale" run for his hugely successful 24K Magic World Tour. Today, the global superstar unveils the cities he will be making stops in throughout the North American tour, and the on-sale date of February 16th. Cities include: Boston, Brooklyn, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Nashville, Newark, Philadelphia, St. Paul, Toronto, and Tulsa. The venues and dates for the final leg of the 24K Magic World Tour will be announced soon.

After last weekend's GRAMMY Awards, Mars is now the first male artist in 25 years to win album, record, and song of the year at the GRAMMYs, making him the only male artist this decade to have won across both pop and R&B genres and the "Big Three" categories. According to Billboard, Mars is one of only five R&B artists to win the GRAMMY for album of the year, preceded by Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Natalie Cole and Ray Charles.

Following Bruno Mars' GRAMMY sweep on Sunday night, R&B legend, Babyface told Billboard, "I'm trying to make good-feeling music again and not be afraid of who I am and who I've been. Fortunately, Bruno (Mars) made it easy for us to be ourselves again." He continued, "I'm very proud of him and his accomplishments," says Babyface. "I had the opportunity to go into the studio and work with and write with him, and I had so much respect for his work ethic 'cause it was very close to how I did it, and how I do it. I think he's genius in his approach and one of the best entertainers we've had in a very, very long time. I consider Bruno in the same category with Prince and with Michael Jackson; He's one of those guys who can actually stand with those artists, and there aren't a lot of artists I can actually say that about and say it with confidence and feel like he would deserve to be on that same stage as them." Mars and Babyface worked together on "Too Good To Say Goodbye," the final track on Mars' album 24K Magic.

"That's What I Like"11x GRAMMY Award winner and 27-time GRAMMY Award nominee Bruno Mars is a celebrated singer, songwriter, producer, and musician who has sold more than 180 million singles worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. Recently, his critically acclaimed and RIAA certified double-platinum album 24K Magic marked his highest first week sales debut, remaining in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 for an impressive 44 consecutive weeks. The lead hit single "24K Magic" is certified four times Platinum by the RIAA. Mars' six-time platinum certified single "That's What I Like" recently climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his seventh Hot 100 chart-topper and his first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, where it remained at the top-spot for 19 consecutive weeks.

Mars is the first artist to have two songs spend 24 or more weeks in the Hot 100's Top 5 ("That's What I Like" and "Uptown Funk"). He is the only artist in the past year to have both a four-time and six-time platinum single from the same album. Also, Mars is one of the few artists to have written and produced all of his No. 1 hits and has had a No. 1 song on the Hot 100 from each of his first three studio albums.

With seven Hot 100 No. 1's, Mars is ranked No. 1 among male artists with the most Hot 100 No. 1s for this decade, extending his lead over Justin Bieber, Drake, Eminem, and The Weeknd. Mars has been traveling the globe on his massive 24K Magic World Tour, which sold more than 1 million tickets in a single day. In 2015, Bruno dominated music charts with the hit single "Uptown Funk," which took home three GRAMMY Awards, including Record of the Year.
