Mark Ronson says he was rushed to hospital after injuring himself during set

Independent03-04-2025

Mark Ronson has said he had to be rushed to hospital after injuring himself during a gig.
The DJ and producer, 49, posted a photo from his hospital bed and gave fans an update on his condition.
'That time the house PA was so bad that I tried to one-hand turn the stage monitor towards the crowd mid-mix to give them some extra juice,' the 'Uptown Funk' producer said. 'Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway,'
The house PA is the speaker equipment present at the club or venue where the artist is performing, and the stage monitor refers to a speaker system facing the DJ or performer that allows them to hear the music mix over the sound of the crowd.
Drew Elliot, America's Next Top Model consultant and global creative director of MAC Cosmetics, commented on Ronson's post, writing: 'Always putting the audience first. Feel better.'
Interior Design Masters host Alan Carr wrote: 'Oh no!! Get well soon - love the hashtag though,' referring to Ronson's play on Lady Gaga hit 'Born This Way'.
Last week, Ronson announced his memoirs, Night People: How to Be a DJ in '90s New York City, and performed a five-hour set in New York to promote it.
'It chronicles three of my great loves: the art of DJing with all its emotional highs and lows, the electric energy of New York after dark, and the wild, wonderful clubland characters who became my second family,' the multiple Grammy winner wrote on Instagram, describing his memoirs.
'This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity — a time when finding my craft put me on the path to finding myself.'
Last week, Ronson shared another post detailing the toll that performing took on him. 'Pulled my camo record bags out of storage and filled them with 300 dusty ass records to play my first vinyl sets in 19 (?) years…I woke up today with my hands shredded, my ears shot, my lower back stiff as concrete, and FULLY BACK IN LOVE WITH DJING AGAIN. I f***ing love you New York.'
The Oscar winner and his wife, Grace Gummer, recently confirmed they were expecting their second child. In March 2023, Ronson's sister Annabelle Dexter-Jones had confirmed the arrival of the couple's first child, a baby girl.
Gummer 'just had the baby. She's two and a half months now', Dexter-Jones told People at the time. 'She's stunning.'
The couple tied the knot in an intimate backyard ceremony in August 2021. The following month, Ronson shared the wedding news with fans in a heartfelt black-and-white social media post celebrating his 45th birthday.
'To my truest love,' he captioned the image of the smiling newlyweds. 'Out of nowhere, you made 45 hands down the greatest year of my life. And I'm sure it took me 45 years to become the man worthy of your love.'
'I hope I spend every one of these birthdays by your side till my last day. And beyond. Forever and ever yours,' he said, cheekily confirming the nuptials with: '(And yes, we got married).'

Sabrina Carpenter sparks huge backlash over 'disturbing' new album cover

Sabrina Carpenter has been met with a wave of backlash from fans after sharing the cover for her new album, Man's Best Friend. The Espresso singer, 26, sent us all into meltdown last week when she dropped new single Manchild, with many convinced that the lyrics refer to her relationship with ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan. Hot on the heels of her latest earworm, the 26-year-old announced that her next offering – a follow-up to Short N' Sweet – will be released on August 29. Taking to Instagram earlier today, the Grammy-winner unveiled the artwork imagery, which showed her on her knees in a black minidress and heels. She could be seen posing for the camera and holding her hand up to a man's trouser leg, as he stood over her and gripped a fistful of her hair. The second picture in the post included a zoomed-in photo of a dog wearing a tag adorned with 'Man's Best Friend'. 'My new album, Man's Best Friend, is out on August 29, 2025,' she captioned the post. 'I can't wait for it to be yours x.' Although followers were delighted at the prospect of new music from Sabrina, her accompanying photoshoot left many 'uncomfortable'. Flocking to social media, users branded the album cover 'disturbing', and begged the Please Please Please star to 'get up'. Below the announcement on Instagram, Edersoaresx penned: 'Lol this cover art is so disgusting. As a fan I don't like it :(.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Carehanapov said: 'I dont wanna see no man dragging you around by your hair mother please get up [sic].' 'Does anybody else find this cover really disturbing?,' xxfrecklesandfairies questioned. In a discussion over on Reddit, Adorable_Slide_921 simply complained: 'Ooooh boy do I hate this!' 'The first image is very triggering for me. I hate this. A LOT,' Potential-Friend-133 agreed. Wise_Reporter_6802 posted: 'What the hell is that cover? I love Sabrina's music and I've been supporting her since 2017 but this is terrible.' Lily4ever replied: 'The cover is making me uncomfortable.' As L3tigre added: 'The visceral reaction I just got from this. It's a no.' Sabrina has yet to address the backlash, but has posted her announcement across her various social media pages. Speaking to fans about her upcoming music, she said: 'I didn't plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn't, I still go to the studio. 'But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck! I tried not to overthink the process this time. 'I felt so at ease making Man's Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I'd bang my head to crack numerous codes. 'This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favorite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time. 'Can't say that is or will be the norm for me, but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!' More Trending Sabrina has been booked and busy over the last few months, jetting around the world on her tour – with stops in London, Dublin, Manchester and Paris. Over the weekend, she performed at Primavera in Barcelona for the first time, joining Chappell Roan and Charli XCX on the line-up. She will next be performing across two dates at Hyde Park's British Summer Time festival (BST) next month, before brining her run of dates to the US. Metro has contacted Sabrina's reps for a comment.

'We're Learning A Lot About People, Ain't We?' Kevin Hart Roasts Diddy And Kanye At BET Awards

Ever one to put himself in the firing line, Kevin Hart used his hosting gig at the 2025 BET Awards to roast two of the most controversial figures in the music industry – Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is currently on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and Kanye West, who has taken to X in recent months to spew racist and antisemitic hatred. Diddy denies all allegations and has pleaded not guilty in court. This, it seems, is fertile ground for a comedy monologue. On Monday night at the Peacock Theatre in LA, Kevin alluded to Diddy's ongoing trial and his alleged 'freak off' parties by telling the audience there would be no afterparties where 'sh** gets slippery'. 'I'm shutting down the idea of afterparties,' he told the crowd. 'No afterparties tonight. None. Take your asses home after this. That's why I did it on Monday. People gotta go to work tomorrow.' Diddy's alleged afterparties have been a key subject during his trial, with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, the former escort Daniel Phillip and several former assistants all testifying about their involvement in Diddy's infamous after parties. 'That's where sh** gets slippery at them goddamn afterparties,' Kevin joked. 'We're learning a lot about people, ain't we? We're learning a lot...' Kevin was hosting the BET Awards, which honour achievements across filmmaking, music and television, in front of a medley of celebrity guests including Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey and Kendrick Lamar. Another famous face who was not in attendance, but still got a mention in Kevin's speech was Kanye. Pretending to receive a message, the comedian said, 'Oh sh**, it's Kanye. Yep, he says he's out front, he's waiting for somebody to invite him in. We all saw Sinners , don't let his ass in here, so he could fight somebody, so he can fight Playboi Carti again, okay? Nobody let Kanye in, no! Not tonight!' This was seemingly a reference to the commotion Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori made on the Grammy's red carpet earlier this year. They were not expected to make an appearance at the awards show before they arrived. Kanye then stood fully clothed while giving directives to Bianca, who dropped her fur coat to reveal her almost entirely naked body in front of the cameras. Continuing to go through the award show house rules, Kevin then referenced the viral video of rapper Cardi B and her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, partying on a yacht where he handed out a bag containing a mystery pink substance. 'No yachts, no boats,' Kevin joked. 'Cardi B, no pink stuff. What the f***, none of that stuff.' However, unlike Diddy and Kanye, Cardi B was in attendance at the ceremony and later received an honour for her work in hip hop. As Kevin put it, 'The women in hip hop are doing such amazing – I told you guys it's a matter of giving flowers, so I wanna make sure I celebrate this correctly. Shouts out to Cardi B, shouts out to Meg Thee Stallion. Shouts out to Latto, Doechii, just to name a few. You guys are all doing amazing things.'

'I was in bed with P Diddy when assault video surfaced - here's what he said'

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend took the stand this week in the rap mogul's sex trafficking trial, testifying about her relationship with the embattled music icon Sean"Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend has chillingly recalled how she was in bed with the music mogul when video of his assault of Casandra "Cassie" Ventura surfaced online. Combs, who has been held in jail since his high-profile arrest in September 2024, is currently on trial in New York. The music mogul pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Testifying under the name Jane, she described the atmosphere as "very eerie" upon the release of the notorious 2016 hotel assault video. Jane recounted how she gave Combs "space" while he reportedly scrambled to manage the fallout with his family and associates. "I just remember that they were just trying to come up with some sort of sincere apology post or something regarding the video," Jane disclosed during her testimony. The video, initially reported by CNN, seemingly captures Combs, wearing only a towel, pursuing Ventura towards an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. The footage suggests Combs then kicked and hit Ventura before hurling an object at her. Following the incident, Combs issued an apology through a now-deleted video. "It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life," Combs admitted. "Sometimes you gotta do that. I was f***ed up. I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behaviour on that video is inexcusable." During Combs' ongoing trial, the video has been played repeatedly. Jane expressed her feelings about Combs' subsequent apology, labelling it as "underwhelming". "I felt there was no heart there," she stated in court, voicing her "disappointment" with his public response. Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has entered a plea of not guilty. It comes after Diddy and Cassie's former makeup artist, Mylah Morales, took the stand and testified that she saw Cassie with injuries on her face on Grammy weekend in 2010. After a party at Prince's house, Morales and Cassie went to a hotel room. Diddy later came into the room and asked where Cassie was, Morales testified. She said Combs went into the room where Cassie was and closed the door. Morales said she heard yelling and screaming. 'I was just frantic and I didn't know what to do,' Morales said. She added that Cassie was 'distraught' when Combs stormed out. 'She had a swollen eye and a busted lip and knots on her head." She took Cassie to her home to recover for a few days. She revealed a doctor friend checked Cassie over after the incident. When they recommended she got to the hospital, Cassie refused and they did not call the police. Morales said she didn't phone the police because she feared Combs and feared for her life.
