Bruno Mars gives Katy Perry an acoustic makeover

Singer-songwriter Bruno Mars took time out from his whirlwind trip to London yesterday (January 19) to visit Radio 1's Live Lounge. 

The star, who scored his second number 1 on January 16 with 'Grenade', performed a stripped down acoustic version of Katy Perry's smash hit 'California Gurls'. He also showcased his ability to mimic a cockney accent and last night tweeted:

"Toodles me london chaps. Me time here has been absolutely brilliant. I Fancy seeing you later. Longingly the Duke Of Mars. #LondonTweets"

Mars will be back on January 24 for his exclusive album launch party at Cafe de Paris in central London. Listen to his Katy Perry cover here:
