Sadly, Bruno Mars' mother passed away of a brain aneurysm in 2013 (via CNN) — too soon to see her pop genius son sweep the Grammy Awards in 2018, where he took home six awards, including Album of the Year for 24K Magic (via Recording Academy Grammy Awards). However, the "That's What I Like" singer continues to give both of his parents shoutouts, posting Instagram tributes to them in 2020 on both Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Since wrapping up his 24K world tour in 2018 and in between playing gigs through his residency in Vegas, Bruno, who celebrated his 35th birthday in October 2020 (via Good Morning America), has kept busy collaborating with a diverse range of talent — from Cardi B to Ed Sheeran to Gucci Mane to Chris Stapleton — reflecting his skill in multiple genres (via Las Vegas Magazine).
Next up for the one-time child prodigy? Working with Disney on a music-themed film that will feature him performing new original work (via Variety). We can't wait!
