He's a musical heartthrob who's sold millions of records worldwide.

But even American pop phenom Bruno Mars isn't immune to sickness.

After cancelling his Brisbane performance due to an unnamed illness, the 28-year-old star touched down in Sydney on Friday, where his Moonlight Jungle Tour shows, scheduled for Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, were proceeding as normal.

Touching down: Pop crooner Bruno Mars landed in Sydney on Friday, the day he cancelled his Brisbane performance for his Moonlight Jungle tour

Cutting a solitary figure the handsome singer, known for his super star razzle dazzle, looked subdued as he kept his head down as he disembarked his very own private jet.

Wearing chunky black shades, a skull and cross bone black trucker cap and a leather jacket, the normally vivacious singer (real name is Peter Gene Hernandez) didn't raise his gaze and kept his lips pursed.

His sombre demeanour matched his outfit, which was all black apart from a splash of yellow on his T-shirt, with his metal chain hanging low from his side.

The Billboard 2013 Artist of the Year had to put the breaks on his sold-out gig at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday, rescheduling the performance for a week later.

He took to Twitter, apologising to fans on Thursday saying: 'Brisbane! I'll see you in a few days. Being sick sucks but ill make it up to you. Thank you for understanding.'

But his recovery was swift on Friday he told Sydneysiders: 'Alright I'm back! pheeww. Sydney!! Tonight we party!'

The BRIT award winner is currently touring Australia, already having performed in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, before he heads of to New Zealand, Asia and finally ending in the UK.

Mars first burst on to the international music scene with his 2010 album Doo-Wops And Hooligans which spawned the hit singles Grenade and Just The Way You Are.

His follow-up album - Unorthodox Jukebox - was just as big a hit for the soul crooner, scoring him a GRAMMY for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th Annual Awards in January.

This guy is untouchable as an artist. . Amazingly talented - and absolutely one-of-a-kind .. The first of his kind - writes songs, sings beautifully, his dance moves are incredible - he actually 'puts on a REAL SHOW' - and there's been no one like him for YEARS! .. His Elvis impersonation - starting at about 3 years old (!) - is well worth a look .. Talent running through his very bones..
