Bruno Mars' mother dies of aneurysm
THE mother of Grammy-winning pop star Bruno Mars has died in Hawaii.
Beadette Heandez died Saturday of a brain aneurysm, according to a publicist for Mars' label, Atlantic Records, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorised to speak on the record.
Heandez was 55 years old. She died in Honolulu at Queens Medical Centre; no other information was given.
Mars is one of pop's top acts with several No. 1 hits including his most recent, When I Was Your Man. His mother, a hula dancer and a singer who immigrated to the US from the Philippines, nurtured her son's interest in music at an early age.
