The reason why Bruno Mars has to tour so hard in Asia: Must he earn money to pay off gambling debt?

News about Bruno Mars falling into debt due to gambling is causing a stir in the online community.

Today, a series of international news sites simultaneously reported that male singer Bruno Mars is falling into debt. The amount of money that Bruno Mars owes to MGM casino in Las Vegas is said to be up to 50 million USD. Currently, representatives of MGM and Bruno Mars have not provided any feedback on the above information.

Since 2016, Bruno Mars has signed a contract to perform a series of residency shows at MGM. All this time, Bruno Mars is said to be a professional poker player, not only performing but also participating in “red and black” matches in the gambling capital of the world. Many people also believe that this debt of Bruno Mars is the “binding” that MGM side put in place to tie the male performer to this casino side.

This information does not come as too much of a surprise as before, Bruno Mars shared with the media more than once that he had a passion for gambling and “got rich” this way when he was young.

Whether accidentally or intentionally, from mid-2023 until early this year, Bruno Mars also started a tour in many Asian countries without announcing the release of a new album. Last April, Bruno Mars had two shows in Seoul (Korea) and the Philippines. Earlier this year, Bruno Mars performed 7 consecutive nights at Tokyo Dome (Japan). In the near future, he will have 2 shows in Bangkok (Thailand) and 3 shows in Singapore, all of which are sold out. Many Vietnamese audiences will also attend this series of shows.

These shows create a rather… “improvised” feeling for the audience, without a specific name, simply Bruno Mars Live In Bangkok, Bruno Mars Live In Singapore, Bruno Mars Live At Tokyo Dome,. .. Not stopping there, earlier this year, Bruno Mars also announced 12 shows at MGM. Summarizing the facts, many people believe that Bruno Mars actively organizes these “improvisation” shows to cover costs to repay MGM casino debt. Separate from the debt story, it cannot be denied that Bruno Mars’s global appeal is still extremely strong when the music nights are “sold out”, local media also give a lot of praise to the male artist.
