Due to its success, with over a million tickets said to be
sold in a single day and with reported revenues of US$ 52.7 million and
counting, the singer decided to extend the tour to Asia.
Mars previously gave a sample of his dynamic live show on
“Saturday Night Live,” where he performed some of his hits from his latest
album, “24K Magic,” his third studio album released in 2016.
Reportedly included in the set list of “24k Magic in the Air”
world tour are Mars’ hits from current and past albums.
Just last July 21, Mars’ “24k Magic in the Air" tour
was ranked number 10 in Top 20 Global Concerts by trade publication Pollstar,
based on data provided by concert promoters and venue managers.
Born Peter Gene Hernandez in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars was
raised by a family of musicians, owing to their Filipino roots and Filipinos’
innate talent and love for music.
He, however, has been proud of his Filipino ancestry, even
endorsing a Filipino clothing brand and since Filipinos are family-oriented, he
has been working with his brother and sisters for various projects.
Despite rejections and criticisms, Mars received many
nominations and awards, including five Grammies.
He was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in
the World in 2011, and ranked number one on Forbes’ 30 under 30 lists in 2013.
Since he launched his career in 2010, he has landed seven
number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, which is considered faster than
any male artist since the time of Elvis Presley.
To date, Mars is said to have sold more than 115 million
singles and nine million albums globally, making him one of the best-selling
artists of all time and making him an ambassador for Filipino pride worldwide.
