But in my excitement, I forgot I suck at arts and crafts. Swipe left for the official announcement…” Mars wrote in the caption. In the video the singer shared, he treated his fans with a homemade video of several artist cutouts of those joining him on tour. “What’s up guys it’s Bruno Mars,” he is overheard saying. “If you were wondering who’s coming with me to the 24K Magic World Tour finale, let me show you! Hit them with the photoshop!” He announced Charlie Wilson, Ella Mai and Boyz II Men would be joining him and Ciara on his tour finale while belting a few lines of each singer’s music as an introduction. Mars’ tour kicks off on Sept. 7 in Denver, Colorado and wraps in Honolulu, Hawaii with three performance dates on Nov. 8, 10 and 11.

Her announcement came just 16 days after she delivered. “As of today, I’ve decided I won’t be joining Bruno on tour this Fall,” Cardi wrote on social media. “I thought that after giving birth to my daughter that 6 weeks would be enough time for me to recover mentally and physically.” “I also thought that I’d be able to bring her with me on tour, but I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing,” she admitted. 775105876KR00010_60th_Annua Cardi B and Bruno Mars | Credit: Christopher Polk/Getty The “Bodak Yellow” rapper continued, “Not only am I just not ready physically, I’m not ready to leave my baby behind since the doctors explained it’s not healthy for her to be on the road.” “I hope you guys understand that this decision has been the hardest to make but I have to do what’s best for myself and my baby! Thank you, Bruno, for being so supportive and understanding,” she added. There were no hard feelings from the “Finesse” singer, who shared his own message on Instagram following Cardi’s post. “A Message for Cardi,” the post began. “Most important thing is you and your family’s health. I know the fans will understand. You are absolutely doing the right thing.”<doc-sep>Bruno Mars may think he's lacking in "arts and crafts,” but the newest additions to his "24K Magic World Tour" will surely make up for the lack of a "cool" poster. The singer announced Ciara, Charlie Wilson, Ella Mai and Boyz II Men will replace Cardi B on the North American leg of his tour, after the new mom dropped out to spend more time with her daughter, Kulture. "I was trying really hard to make a cool your poster once we got confirmation on who's joining us on the finale of the 24k Magic Tour," Mars wrote on a message shared to Instagram. "But in my excitement I forgot I suck at arts and crafts. Swipe left for the official announcement." In a hilarious Instagram post, Mars sang excerpt’s from each of his special guest's songs during the reveal, from Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up” to Boyz II Men’s "End of the Road.” The news comes weeks after Cardi B apologized to fans for deciding to skip the "24K Magic World Tour" she had planned to join Bruno Mars for in September. "I thought that after giving birth to my daughter that 6 weeks would be enough for me to recover mentally and physically. I also thought that I'd be able to bring her with me on tour, but I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing," she wrote on Twitter. Mars supported Cardi's decision. "Most important thing is you and your family's health. I know the fans will understand," he wrote Cardi on Twitter. "I also know we'll share the stage when the time is right. We love you Cardi and we will play Bodak Yellow every night in your honor." Mars' announcement definitely has fans looking forward to the fall: One user tweeted: "Bruno Mars just announced who is joining him on tour, and I’m screaming! Ciara, Charlie Wilson, Ella Mai, and Boys II Men. I’m so excited for October." Another Twitter user is on board with Ci-Ci: "Ciara is going on tour with Bruno Mars!!!" One Twitter user is already looking for more tickets to the show: "We stan a king with Maaad editing skills. OMG BRUNO. I NEED MORE TICKETS STAT. OMG, that line up."

Closing out the U.S. leg of the tour, The Green and Common Kings will perform before Mars at two of his three Honolulu, Hawaii shows.

Bruno Mars announced that Ciara, Boyz II Men, Charlie Wilson and Ella Mai will serve as openers during the final leg of his 24K Magic tour. Cardi B was originally scheduled to support Mars throughout the trek, but she pulled out to spend more time with her new daughter, Kulture. Mars announced the new openers in a cheeky Instagram video where he showed off his amateur Photoshop skills. The pop star provided exuberant narration as he dragged photos of each artist onto his computer screen, belting a few lines from their songs as well. Ciara, Boyz II Men, Wilson and Mai will join Mars at various points throughout the 24K Magic trek. The tour launches Sept. 7 and 8 in Denve and wraps with a three-night stand in Honolulu Nov. 8, 10 and 11 (those last shows will feature the Green and Common Kings). Cardi B announced her decision to drop off Mars’ 24K Magic tour at the end of July. “I thought that after giving birth to my daughter that 6 weeks would be enough time for me to recover mentally and physically,” the rapper said. “I also thought that I’d be able to bring her with me on tour, but I think that I underestimated this whole mommy thing.” Mars voiced his support for the rapper – who anchored the remix of his track “Finesse” – writing, “You are absolutely doing the right thing. I also know we’ll share the stage when the time is right.” Bruno Mars 24K MagicTour Dates September 7 – Denver, CO @ Pepsi Center (with Boyz II Men) September 8 – Denver, CO @ Pepsi Center (with Boyz II Men) September 11 – St. Paul, MN @ Xcel Energy Center (with Charlie Wilson) September 12 – St. Paul, MN @ Xcel Energy Center (with Charlie Wilson) September 15 – Detroit, MI @ Little Caesars Arena (with Charlie Wilson) September 16 – Detroit, MI @ Little Caesars Arena (with Charlie Wilson) September 19 – Philadelphia, PA @ Wells Fargo Center (with Boyz II Men) September 20 – Philadelphia, PA @ Wells Fargo Center (with Boyz II Men) September 22 – Toronto, Ontario @ Air Canada Centre (with Ciara) September 23 – Toronto, Ontario @ Air Canada Centre (with Ciara) September 27 – Boston, MA @ TD Garden (with Ciara) September 28 – Boston, MA @ TD Garden (with Ciara) October 1 – Newark, NJ @ Prudential Center (with Ciara) October 2 – Newark, NJ @ Prudential Center (with Ciara) October 4 – Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Center (with Ella Mai) October 5 – Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Center (with Ella Mai) October 7 – Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena (with Ella Mai) October 8 – Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena (with Ella Mai) October 11 – Tulsa, OK @ BOK Center (with Ella Mai) October 12 – Tulsa, OK @ BOK Center (with Ella Mai) October 14 – Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center (with Charlie Wilson) October 15 – Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center (with Charlie Wilson) October 23 – Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center (with Boyz II Men) October 24 – Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center (with Ciara) October 26 – Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center (with Ella Mai) October 27 – Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center (with Charlie Wilson) November 8 – Honolulu, HI @ Aloha Stadium November 10 – Honolulu, HI @ Aloha Stadium (with the Green, Common Kings) November 11 – Honolulu, HI @ Aloha Stadium (with the Green, Common Kings)
