AceShowbiz - Bruno Mars won't never let his fans feel worried while watching his show. The "That's What I Like" hitmaker was forced to evacuate the stage as fire broke out at his show in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday, July 10.
A concertgoer told Entertainment Tonight that Mars suddenly stopped singing in the middle of his performance. He then apologized and told the audience he needed to stop the show before walking off the stage. "They lowered [a] lighting rig and used fire extinguishers to put something out that was on stage," the concertgoer shared.
Another concertgoer shared on Twitter a picture of a safety message that appeared on the screen. It read, "This is a safety announcement. It is necessary to stop the show temporarily. Further information to follow."

Fortunately, the fire was quickly extinguished and no one was injured or harmed. Mars was allowed to return to the stage after seven minutes and made sure everyone could still be having fun after the small incident. "He was a total showman," the first concertgoer said. "When he came back on the stage, he apologized for briefly having to stop the show. He then incorporated what had happened onstage into the lyrics of his next song."
In a fan-captured video, the "Marry You" singer could be seen crooning, "We burned the stage down in Glasgow. Better call the fire department when the Hooligans get on stage!"
