Monday he followed through with a cryptic-yet-significant, announcement, \u201cMy album is done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No date attached. His new single is rumored to be out Friday. The promotion is likely to line up with the Grammy Awards, set for Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>And be ready for Mars to announce a stadium tour for \u201926. Such a series would likely mean the earliest he would be back at Dolby Live would be NEXT New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>By the time Mars took to X (a platform he uses only occasionally), we\u2019d already endorsed the concept of a live album out of The Pinky Ring. An album of a show similar to his New Year\u2019s Eve performance (\u201cWhole Lotta Love,\u201d \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit,\u201d \u201cSeven Nation Army\u201d) would top the charts in about 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I envision a type of \u201cSinatra at the Sands\u201d release, capturing not just a show but a moment in time. Maybe someday, but not today.<\/p>\n<p>What the year-opening developments indicate is there will be less of Mars in Vegas in \u201926. More of Mars worldwide. The new album is his first solo effort since the 2016 \u201c24K Magic,\u201d which won six Grammys and produced the title hit and also \u201cThat\u2019s What I Like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mars\u2019 latest full-scale album was the the 2021 \u201cAn Evening with Silk Sonic\u201d adventure with Anderson .Paak. That album also crushed it at the Grammys, and sparked the enormously successful Silk Sonic residency run at Dolby Live. You could have turned the entire property into a Silk Sonic-themed resort. Mars has played 100-plus dates at the venue, but it\u2019s likely we won\u2019t see him there again until the end of the year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DN6Kl8WD2y0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>John Katsilometes\u2019 column runs daily in the A section.
