Bruno Mars brings Finesse and raw talent to Wembley Stadium

Bruno left everything on the floor, not just Versace, as pop's most committed showman wowed London without dancers, catwalks or any gimmicks...apart from a red Cadillac

The Hawaiian superstar embodies the greatest showmen of the past 50 years, so no bells, whistles or even Harry Styles' running track was required to make fans go wild at Wembley stadium.

Bruno was overflowing with stage presence and - bar the red Cadillac he drove on stage - a more traditional concert production allowed punters to focus on smoothies from latest LP, The Romantic alongside gold star 24K Magic belters.

The show began in church, Bruno praying hed be able to give fans "a show theyll never forget", no fear there - he was preaching to the converted all decked out in Hot For Bruno shirts.

The vibrant '70s soul set wasn't the only retro element, some of Brunos audience banter - combined with the Angel Baby Cam - were straight out of the dad joke handbook; but he pulled it off with braggadocios panache.

It helped that his voice was faultless throughout, singing full pelt like every syllable might be his last, then hitting an even higher bar to compete with pal Anderson .Paak during a wonderful Silk Sonic interlude.

Bruno's piano medley was just as mesmerising, before an all out assault on the core muscles for a monumental Locked Out Of Heaven and Uptown Funk.

Sounding a tad hoarse buy the end, it was a sign that Bruno had left everything out on the stage and seemed to feed off the crowd who had sung along to every line.

He puts other stadium acts to shame, Mars is truly out of this world.
