Bruno Mars donates the equivalent of around 850,000 euros to an aid organization.

At one of his concerts during his '24k Magic' tour, the Hawaiian musician announced that he would support a local organization that is taking care of the victims of the Flint drinking water scandal. In 2014, the city hit the headlines worldwide because it no longer got its drinking water from Detroit, but from the Flint River, which is contaminated - and all just to save money. The water could not be processed into drinking water, which is why many citizens fell ill, some are said to have even died as a result of the dirty water. The 100,000 citizens were only enlightened after drinking lead-contaminated water for more than a year.

The 'Uptown Funk' hitmaker and its tour operator 'Live Nation' will donate the money to the 'Community Foundation Greater Flint' organization. This mainly cares for affected children, whose health suffers from the tragedy. She also supports small businesses in the Flint area.

In addition to Bruno Mars, several celebrities have already campaigned for the city's residents and donated money and water, including Cher, Sean Paul, Eminem and Matt Damon.
