His career launched back in 2010 with mega-hit \u201cJust the Way You Are\u201d, a sentimental ballad from his first solo album, Doo-Wops & Holligans, which topped the charts in the UK and the US.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Romantic Tour will kick off in support of the new album from 10 April in Las Vegas, travelling across North America before landing in Paris, France, and further dates around Europe.<\/p>\n

Mars will play two shows at Wembley Stadium in London \u2013 the only UK dates announced so far \u2013 on 18 and 19 July before heading back to the US and Canada.<\/p>\n
