Bruno Mars surprised a lot of fans when the only guest on his album 24 Karat Magic ended up being Halle Berry on a voicemail.
But he explained his decision to avoid unnecessary collaborations and endorsements inside the new WSJ Magazine issue where he says:
“I don’t want to feel gross. It’s as simple as that. I don’t want to regret any decisions. You get one shot at this. I’m not a model or skater or chef. I’m here to do music.
And I want to be able to look back and say I did it the way I wanted to. Whether it triumphs or fails, I can live with that.”
Bruno takes the iHeartRadio Music Awards stage Sunday to perform live on TBS, TNT and TruTV.
