Bruno Mars Can’t Wait for Fans to Play With His ‘Tall, Chiseled’ Avatar as Fortnite Festival Season 9 Icon

Bruno Mars spoke to Billboard about being Fortnite Festival's new season 9 icon and his "chiseled" game avatar.

Following in the footsteps of past Festival Icons such as The Weeknd, Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish, Mars transforms into a playable avatar performing some of his biggest hits — including Billboard Hot 100-topping Lady Gaga collaboration “Die With a Smile” and ROSÉ duet “APT.” — on an all-new main stage, as previewed in a trailer that dropped Wednesday (June 18). In Mars’ case, fans will have access to his retro cowboy getup worn in the “Die With a Smile” music video, “APT.” kit drums and more goodies. The track started as an idea he shared with followers on social media that ended up going viral, leaving countless fans looking for a place to listen to it in full.
