Singer almost swallowed a mosquito on the first night of shows

After the unfortunate incident with a mosquito at his first show in the Federal District, last Saturday night (27), singer Bruno Mars took to the stage with an unusual ‘instrument’. The owner of hits such as “Billionare”, “When I was your man” and “Just the way you are” took an electric racket and played with it during the performance on Sunday (27).

“I don’t know if you can see it, but there are insects everywhere on this stage”, said Bruno, after almost swallowing the mosquito that hit him on Saturday.

“I’ll keep it close. Not today, Brasília. Not today,” said the singer the next day, while holding the racket during the show.

In the year 2024, Bruno announced 15 shows in Brazilian territory, seven in São Paulo, three in Rio de Janeiro, two in Brasília and Curitiba, and one in Belo Horizonte. Furthermore, the singer transformed his first show in Brazil of the new tour into a charity event to raise funds in support of the tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul.

A proposal to give singer Bruno Mars the title of honorary Brazilian citizen was delivered to the Chamber of Deputies on October 19, and may be approved by the National Congress. The purpose of the request is to recognize the ‘unity and joy’ promoted by the artist among Brazilians, who created great affection for Bruno in his last visit to the country.

The request was made by federal deputy Reginaldo Veras (PV-DF), who highlighted Bruno’s impact in presenting the proposal. “In his performances, the singer spared no effort to demonstrate his love for Brazil, incorporating elements of our culture into his performances and interacting with fans in a warm and authentic way. The positive impact that Bruno Mars had on our country is undeniable, and The granting of honorary citizenship is a way of thanking him for his contribution and strengthening ties between Brazil and the United States”, stated the deputy.
