Singer Bruno Mars reportedly announced he will donate $1 million to victims of the water crisis in Flint, Mich., at a concert in the state

"I'm very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause," Mars told local station Fox 29.

Water supplies in Flint were first contaminated with lead in 2014, when officials switched water supplies without allowing anti-corrosion elements that prevent lead from pipes from leaking into drinking water.
