Jared Leto got very honest with fans during the 30 Seconds to Mars show and covered a lot of topics.
  • How he feels old and is more of a 'granddad' than a 'daddy' at this point
  • Talked about the reputation that certain cities have among touring bands (sounds like Chicago has a bad reputation, but that Jared didn't agree with that)
  • Teases a big tour and mentions September 15 as the release date for the new Thirty Seconds to Mars album
  • Playing a new, unreleased song and needing to watch the teleprompter to remember the lyrics (and procrastinating starting the song due to nerves)

Jared Leto breaks his silence on the Australian man from Broome who sent him a package containing human poo and wee​


Jared Leto has broken his silence about the Australian man who sent him a package containing human excrement.

The actor-turned-singer, 51, appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday to promote his band 30 Seconds to Mars' new album when host Jackie 'O' Henderson, 48, brought up the bizarre story.

'A man in Australia got arrested because he sent you and Leonardo DiCaprio a package with his urine and faeces in it. Did that ever get to you? Did you hear about that?' she asked as co-host Kyle laughed.

'No thank God. Jesus Christ!' the Hollywood star responded in disbelief, before asking whether the culprit was Australian.

'He is, but he's from Broome. He's over the other side and up the top, no one goes there,' replied Kyle.

'We're going to have to keep him over there,' the Suicide Squad actor said, before making a suggestion to the poo-poster.

'Sounds like the guy needs a hobby. Or maybe he has one and he's taken it a little too far.'

Jared recently revealed the title of 30 Seconds To Mars's upcoming album to fans –End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day.

Slated to drop on September 15, the Academy Award winning actor has been eagerly promoting the album on his Instagram page for his 11.5 million followers.

End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day is the band's first studio album since 2018's America.

The band has already released the music video for the album's lead single, Stuck, the video which, according to Jared, was inspired by his love of photography.

He stated, 'The video for Stuck, our first new song in five years, is a love letter to some of my favorite photographers.' according to Billboard.

Album review: Thirty Seconds To Mars – It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day​

Jared Leto proves there’s still life on Mars after five years with 30STM’s electro-tastic sixth album...

Album review: Thirty Seconds To Mars – It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day


September 12, 2023
Words:Nick Ruskell

Thirty Seconds To Mars don’t like to rush things, do they? It’s been a full five years since we last heard new music from the brothers Leto, 2018’s America. It was five between that and 2013’s Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams, which itself came a relatively quick four years since This Is War, and so on, often to the point one might assume things were done, that This Is War Is Over.
Fingers might point to all sorts of speculative factors in explaining this – pandemic this time around, making records takes ages, Jared Leto is an Oscar-winning actor with a presumably full diary, simply not being arsed. Whatever it is, one upshot has resulted a body of work in which, for better or worse, entries stand with their own personality. Not a man keen to repeat his artistic fancies, it seems that a long wait simply provides creative distance from what’s gone before.

So it is with It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day, an album for which Jared has said the band amassed the ideas for 200 songs, with enough actual good ones to make, he reckons, more than one volume. Those still pining for the slick, sparkly, arena-sized rock bombast of the masterful This Is War will be left wanting, but such is how things go on Mars, and it’s a hearteningly better album than the awkward, confused America. The guitars are back, for one thing, though now sitting far more casually among things than as the grandstanding main character. The general vibe, meanwhile, is far cooler and sharper, at its best, such as on Stuck – which opens with a teasing guitar line – where a big electronic beat mingles with an effectively simple bassline.

Elsewhere, Life Is Beautiful thumps along on a dramatic rhythm and hip-hop-ish tack, before suddenly going into a chorus that sounds like Bring Me The Horizon at their most stripped back, a vibe that continues on the defiant Get Up Kid. On World On Fire, things positively soar when the electronic chorus kicks in, while Lost These Days – an acoustic song until a massive bass drum says it’s not halfway through – will slot easily into their sets. For backward nods, rare as they are, closer Avalanche feels similar to Closer To The Edge if it was mostly electronics, while on Seasons Jared intones about, ‘A beautiful lie and it never gets old.’

Given that the band recently, and unexpectedly, stepped out with screamy Knocked Loose singer Bryan Garris for the most aggressive version of The Kill you’ve ever heard, it’s forgivable to have expected something heavier here. Would that have been a step back, though? Quite possibly. And as another move forward, It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day succeeds in part because, once again, Thirty Seconds To Mars haven’t sounded like this before. More power to them for that.

Verdict: 4/5

For fans of: Bring Me The Horizon, twenty one pilots, Paramore


It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day is released on September 15 via Concord. Get your exclusive, limited-run cassette version of the album at the Kerrang! Store

Thirty Seconds to Mars – It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day​

Ever-evolving band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, a collaboration between Jared Leto and his brother Shannon, have ambitiously released their sixth studio album, It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day, which will usher in a new era for the alternative rock outfit. They are notorious for their ability to experiment with their sound, as demonstrated over the course of their previous five records, and this is no exception.

The drive to break out of the cookie-cutter alternative rock scene that was heavily prevalent in the band’s early releases – A Beautiful Lie (2005) and This Is War (2010) – and further still in the more pop-influenced Love Lust Faith + Dreams (2013). The current version of the band still includes the foundation of alt-rock that they were built upon, but it’s dosed heavily with synth-pop. This evolution will undoubtedly allow them to reach a wider audience.

It’s the End of the World relies to a large degree on exploring and conceptualising various aspects of human emotion in relation to the ups and downs in life. The band was able to capture this spectrum of feeling within the song Seasons, in which the lyrics, “People they come, people they go,” accompanied by the positive backing track, beautifully encompass the idea that some people are only with us through certain seasons of life, seeing the beauty in people entering and leaving our lives.

The boldly honest Love These Days looks at the state of dating in today’s age, or “What we call love these days,” detailing the lengths people go to just to experience love. The lyrics, “Getting high on heartbreak / Hooked onto the pain,” reiterate the harsh realities of the dating world and the seemingly endless cycle of heartache and pain, making this track, with its upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus, one of the most relatable on the record.

Brilliantly conveying the feeling of having an intense love for another person, but not being with them anymore, Never Not Love You portrays the intense emotions that linger after separating from a significant other. This mesmerising track includes emotive piano and violin moments, along with the words, “Even if I don’t ever see you again / I’ll never not need you, I’ll never not want you / I’ll never not die inside each time I hear your name,” that will resonate with many fans.

The final track Avalanche is an uplifting ending, full of lyrics such as, “Life, don’t let it pass you by,” and, “Time to live our lives / From the ashes we will rise,” synonymous with the idea of having a positive outlook on life, despite the fact that everything might be going horribly, fitting perfectly with the album’s title It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day.

★★★★★
