Talking to WSJ. about his personal style, Mars shares, “The style stuff all comes from watching my dad—the pinkie rings, the pompadour, everything.” The Versace on the Floor singer continues, “My dad would take me to school in some big, busted up Cadillac, and he’d be wearing a rhinestone jacket and have his hair all whipped and greased up, flashy glasses, and I was like, My dad’s not like the other dads at school! I’d try to get out of the car, zoom out. And now I’m the one driving the busted Cadillac, wearing some gaudy shit, and it’s what makes me happy.”
Switching gears and dishing on his upcoming tour, Mars says, “I’ve seen Prince and Michael Jackson; those are nights I will remember forever. I’m not doing my job unless I leave a piece of me everywhere I go—if you do the right show, it will stay with people and they’ll tell their kids about it.” Read more on WSJ.com.
