Earlier this year, Bruno Mars rose to fame through his chorus on the hook of B.o.B.'s hit, "Nothing on You." The past year has been a dream for Bruno Mars. He has posted a few hits of his own along the way. Even with the dream, there have been a few nightmares.

In November 2010, Bruno Mars was busted with cocaine during a trip to Las Vegas. The police raided his hotel room and found the singer with the drugs. Facing charges, Bruno Mars was going to face four years in prison.

Bruno Mars was due back in court in December, but the court appearance was postponed. Right before his career had even taken off, Bruno Mars was close to losing it all. After reaching his goals, he could not throw it all away.

Because of this, Bruno Mars decided to work out a deal with the courts. He agreed to pay a $2,000 fine and spend 200 hours doing community service. After doing all of this, Bruno Mars will no longer be facing the cocaine charges. He hopes he can get past this blemish and continue with the rest of his career.
