Mars made a special homecoming in late 2018, performing three mostly sold-out concerts at the Aloha Stadium. Fans set up tents and cots outside of the stadium to buy tickets.
Mars got his start in the music industry at the age of 4 when he performed as an Elvis Presley impersonator in Waikiki.
Since 2010, Mars has won 11 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best R&B Album for 24K Magic. He received 27 nominations for multiple categories, including Best Rap Song, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
