Mars recently scored a pair of collaborative smashes with the Lady Gaga duet “Die With a Smile,” and the ROSÉ team-up “APT.,” which is nominated in three categories at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards, including record of the year and song of the year.
Prior to those collaborations, Mars and Anderson .Paak formed the throwback R&B duo Silk Sonic.
The pair played a Las Vegas residency at Park MGM in Las Vegas in 2022, which Mars then followed with a globe-spanning solo tour that ran through 2024.
Mars’ solo studio output has been in short supply over the past decade, after bursting through in 2010 with his debut full-length Doo-Wops & Hooligans and notching chart-topping smashes like “Just the Way You Are,” “Grenade,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “When I Was Your Man” and “That’s What I Like” in the following years.
His most recent solo album remains 2016’s "24K Magic "— but the superstar announced that the decade-long drought was ending when he posted on Monday, “My album is done.”
