Bruno's Tour Reason

Bruno Mars said live performances are "the most important" in the age of AI, inspired by Michael Jackson concerts.

“live performances in the age of AI are "the most important" and that "the only reason why I’m doing this is because I watched videos of my favorite artists live. And I went to a Micheal Jackson concert, he came down to Hawai‘i, it’s such a magical experience. I hope that anybody who goes to a live concert, they get to feel that, whether it’s mine or not. I know that feeling and I wish that for everyone. And you can’t get that anywhere else. A computer can’t do that, so I’m not tripping."”
