NEW YORK, NY (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) Elektra recording artist Bruno Mars' third single "THE LAZY SONG" from his 2x Platinum-certified debut album "DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS" has reached No 1 in the U.K. This chart position marks Mars' third consecutive single to reach No 1 in the U.K., preceded by "GRENADE" and "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE." Mars has also sold over 15 million singles worldwide. Mars - who earlier this year took home a "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" Grammy Award for "Just The Way You Are" - will donate proceeds from his upcoming performance at Alabama's Jubilee CityFest celebration "Bama's Big Bang" to the Alabama Tornado Disaster Relief Fund via the American Red Cross. "Bama's Big Bang," which will feature the state's largest firework spectacular, will be held this Friday, May 20th, at Montgomery's Riverwalk Amphitheater. Past performers at the Jubilee CityFest - Alabama's longest-running festival - include Taylor Swift, John Mayer and Lady Antebellum. Tickets and more information can be found at www.bamasbigbang.com and www.jubileecityfest.org. What's more, Mars has just launched an exclusive eBay auction to further his efforts for the Alabama Tornado Disaster Relief Fund.
