Pop star Bruno Mars has announced he is working on his third album after his NFL Superbowl performance and tours with Pharrell Williams.
On Monday, Sept. 8, Mars took to Facebook to announce the next step he and his band The Hooligans are about to take.
"Now it's time to start writing chapter 3. See you soon hooligans. Brunz," Mars wrote on the social networking site. As of writing, the post has received almost 94,000 likes and 1,200 shares.
The 28-year-old singer and songwriter is about to wrap up his 155-date "Moonshine Jungle World Tour," according to Popdust.
Mars was with Williams during most of the dates in the world tour until the latter stopped performing for the tour without an explanation, according to The Inquisitr.
On Oct. 17 and 18, Mars and The Hooligans will continue their extended engagement at the new performance space at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas called The Chelsea.
Their two-night residency has been sold out, Singers Room reported.
The creative direction Mars will be taking for his third album and who he is collaborating with are yet to be announced.
Born Peter Gene Hernandez in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide since he started making him arguably the top male pop star alive.
In 2010, Mars released his first album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," which included three international number-one hits "Just The Way You Are," "Grenade" and "The Lazy Song."
His debut album earned seven Grammy Awards and won Best Pop Vocal Performance for "Just The Way You Are."
In 2012, Mars released his second album "Unorthodox Jukebox," which won Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards and ranked number one not only in the United States but also in other countries.
Among the chart-topping hits from the second album are "When I Was Your Man," "Locked Out Of Heaven" and "Treasure."
Both "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" and "Unorthodox Jukebox" went double platinum in the United States and five and six times platinum in other countries.
