The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2023 - Issue 33

rothers Jared and Shannon Leto from rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars released their second song, ‘Life Is Beautiful’ via Con- cord Records, taken from their forthcoming and highly antici- pated new album It’s The End Of The World , But It’s A Beautiful Day. “As an artist, I hope to create music that connects deeply with people and our upcoming sixth studio album, It’s The End Of The World, But It’s A Beautiful Day, is a testament to that pursuit,” said actor and artist Jared. “Life Is Beautiful is a song that examines the beauty and fragility of life, reminding us to embrace its fleeting moments and find solace in its unpredictable journey. I hope this song ignites some spark in the listener, reminding them that amidst the chaos and challenges of the world, there is always a glimmer of hope and beauty to be found.” The tracks on the album were inspired by the gamut of emotions and ex- periences the band navigated in the five years since they released their previous album, America. The first track from the album ‘Stuck’ was Thirty Seconds to Mars’ first release in five years and marked the beginning of a new, exciting chapter for the band as they continued to evolve their sound. Since its release, the single has amassed 21 million streams to date. The band also released an official video in tribute to the human form, minimalist design, high fashion, art and dance. Jared is often seen at fashion shows and once twinned with Gucci director Alessandro Michele at the 2022 Met Gala. Thirty Seconds to Mars first performed ‘Stuck’ live at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend at the end of May, followed by a performance at the Orange Warsaw Festival in Poland. In August, the band will return to Lollap- alooza Festival for the first time since 2006, marking their third time on stage at the event. They will also take the stage at the Atlanta-based Music Midtown Festival in September and the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas in October. Jared and Shannon will be heading to Mexico City for the Corona Capital Festival the following month. https://thirtysecondstomars.com Images courtesy of Satellite-414 via Bartholomew Cubbins Life Is Beautiful Thirty Seconds to Mars
