For Bruno Mars, life hasn’t been the same since his mother’s sudden death in 2013.
The “24K Magic” singer opened up about losing mom Bernadette Hernandez in a new interview with Latina magazine, getting candid about how her unexpected passing from a brain aneurysm has altered his perspective.
“My life has changed,” he admitted. “She’s more than my music. If I could trade music to have her back, I would. I always hear her say, ‘Keep going and keep doing it.’ ”
The Grammy-award winning artist said that his mother taught him to “love” and what a “woman is supposed to be.”
“When that goes away, a little more than half your heart goes away with it,” he revealed.
Hernandez was 55 at the time of her death. Mars – whose birth name is Peter Hernandez – is one of her six children.
“You just gotta know that she’s with me everywhere I go,” he told Latina. “It’s something that you can’t imagine – the pain and the things that you keep going back to: ‘I wish I would’ve done this or said this.’ You just have to see life differently. It shows you the real importance of life. Nothing else matters in this world but family and your loved ones.”
