Jared Leto holds onto the Brazilian flag as he hits the stage at Barra Olympic Park as part of the 2017 Rock in Rio Music Festival held on Sunday (September 24) in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The show was held at The Forum on Sunday evening (August 27) in Inglewood, Calif., and Jared Leto and his band Thirty Seconds to Mars performed their newest single for the packed crowd.
As promised, Thirty Seconds To Mars have officially returned with a brand new single called “Walk On Water“!
The track marks the band’s – consisting of members Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic – first song in four years. It’s set to serve as the lead single to their highly anticipated forthcoming fifth studio album.
“After four long years, hundreds of days, thousands of hours, gazillions of seconds, we have finally managed to finish a single fu**ing song. Whoever thought “soon” would actually be here “now”. With the help of groundbreaking nanotechnology, chatbots and self-driving music software, we have wrangled from the depths of our cold black hearts, some semblance of a song,” Jared said in a statement.
“If you’re still reading this press release and managed to get this far, you should probably get to work or school before you get fired or grounded,” Jared continued. “If you’re stubborn, like I am, please continue and let me share with you a few words on our brand new single, the ever so subtle and minimalist ode we tenderly call ‘WALK ON WATER’. Of course this entire paragraph is complete and total hogwash but I’m not sure exactly what to say about the song. Honestly, we miss you all. We can’t wait to get back on the road and we couldn’t be more proud to share with you the first first single off of our new album. And yes, we have been working on it for four years. The last time we put an album out, there were no self driving cars, no fidget spinners, President Trump was still that guy on The Apprentice and Jon Snow hadn’t even died yet. #SpoilerAlert”

After much teasing throughout the year, the band – consisting of members Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic – have announced that they will release their new single called “Walk On Water” on Tuesday (August 22)!
“THE NEW SINGLE / WALK ON WATER / AUGUST 22. #SOON,” the guys tweeted along with a video teaser showing them getting yelled at by a Interscope Records executive.
The announcement is timely considering Thirty Seconds to Mars are set to hit the main stage as performers at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 27.
The group is documenting “A Day in the Life of America” and they are having film crews travel around all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, to see how people are celebrating the holiday.
“It’s an incredibly important time in our country and we are excited for people to film what they feel is important, impactful, challenging or inspiring,” Jared said in a statement. “Whether it’s a single shot, a person, an event, or a story – we want to see your America.”
Jared had a bit of a hiccup while trying to get back to the states in time to kick off the project. There was an issue with his plane! It looks like he made it though, thankfully.
