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

And kicking off his first of two London dates on Friday, Lionel made a confession to the adoring audience. 'When you see me jumping and running, sliding, running up stairs, running down stairs, I want you all to know one thing: I'm in pain,' he told fans, The Telegraph reported. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Lionel has sold over 125 million records worldwide, producing unforgettable anthems like Hello, All Night Long, Say You Say Me, We Are The World, Easy and many more. Lucky fans who had tickets his London gig raved about the star's incredible performance. Commenting on his Instagram, they wrote: 'You were fabulous, Lionel! It was a spectacular night,'; 'Fantastic night, loved every minute❤️,'; 'One off my bucket list. That voice melts my heart ❤️,'; 'You were - and are! - INCREDIBLE! What a show. Second time of seeing you live and you are such a joy to watch. I could do it all again! It was my birthday treat for tomorrow - and what a treat it was! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,'; 'You were brilliant. We loved every second and didn't want it to end ❤️❤️❤️,'; 'Even better than 20 something years ago,'; 'It was absolutely a night to remember. You're the GOAT! I can't wait for the next one. I'm still pumped from tonight,'; 'You were everything we hoped for and more #legend thank you,'; 'What an amazing night. You are TRULY AMAZING please come back again soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.' Amid his resurgence, Lionel has penned a tell-all memoir about his legendary nearly six-decade-long career, which is set for release for a September. The memoir, titled Truly, will be an 'intimate, deeply candid memoir,' according to its publisher HarperOne. The Endless Love singer 'seeks to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don't matter by chronicling lessons learned in the course of his most unlikely of success stories,' a press release stated. Richie went 'from a painfully shy, tragically late bloomer grappling with ADHD to his dramatic transformation into a world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played like the soundtrack of our lives.' Lionel is also the father to daughters Nicole and Sofia Richie. Richie explained that he considers himself 'the reluctant hero of my own story,' per People. The memoir will begin when Richie was a college student at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama at the height of the civil rights movement, then explores his time as a member of The Commodores before taking a look at the superstardom that came his way as a solo artist in the 1980s. 'I travel the world, and all people really want to hear is, "I love you,"' Richie said in a statement. 'I love you is forever. And the day we realize we come as different tribes, but we all represent the global family of mankind … the day that happens, we will clearly be united, together, as one.' 'Lionel Richie is not only a music legend who has long been a multicultural and generational bridge, he has witnessed monumental shifts in history and entertainment while working with some of the most significant talents of our age,' Judith Curr, president and publisher of HarperOne Group, said. She added, 'We are thrilled to not only be providing his fans and friends with a nuanced, detailed, emotional telling of what his life has held, but his view of the world — what has changed and what has remained the same, the difficulties and the causes for celebration.' The Lady hitmaker will detail what he calls his 'darkest period' – his father's death, two bitter divorces and an injury to his vocal chords that nearly stripped him of his voice. He also write about how the changes in the music industry challenged him, which ultimately led him to become a judge on American Idol. 'Richie will share how he lived to tell this story – and through divine intervention, soon took off to higher heights, with one of the greatest rejuvenation stories ever told," the publisher said. Richie's memoir will be released on September 30, 2025 and is available for pre-sale now.

George Clooney debuts huge makeover after revealing wife Amal's complaint
George Clooney is back to being a silver fox, and we have Amal Clooney to thank due to her reaction to his dyed brown hair. The Ocean's Eleven actor, 64, is well known for his grey hair, which he has had since his twenties, but he reached for the dye bottle during his recent stage role in Broadway's Good Night, and Good Luck. Hitting the red carpet at the Tony Awards, Clooney had ditched the brown locks and was back to his usual self, posing alongside Amal, 47, in a suave black tuxedo. Amal looked glamorous as ever in an off-shoulder white beaded dress, with her own brunette tresses curled and pulled to the side. Speaking to People on the red carpet, Clooney revealed how happy Amal was that he had cut his hair – and therefore the brown dye out – after finding his drastic look 'funny.' 'Oh man, my wife [Amal] was the happiest person when I came home after the play today and I'd cut all the hair off,' he revealed. 'Because, you know, I looked like a drug dealer with that bad black dye job.' Last week, during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he covered his hair with a cap while revealing how his wife, whom he wed in 2014, felt about it. 'She thinks it's funny. She'll be glad when it's gone,' he told host Meyers. In an interview with CBS Mornings in April, he confided that he himself had found it a struggle to adapt to. 'I'm not used to it. You never get used to it,' he said. Listen, I started getting gray when I was 25, so I've been gray most of my life. So it's not my favorite look, and my wife, she thinks it's funny.' Amal isn't the only one who has been left giggling over George's transformation, as he told Gayle King about twins Alexander and Ella's reaction. 'They laugh at it because, honestly, nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair,' he said. More Trending It comes weeks after George made a shock marriage confession, insisting he and Amal have never had an argument. 'Amal and I are having a really great time in life,' he told the host. 'Our kids are seven, about to be eight, which is a pretty great age. They're really curious and funny,' he told Gayle during an interview. 'Every parent thinks their kids are great – our kids are funny, and make us laugh. 'We were here with you once before, and I remember we said we'd never had an argument. We still haven't. We're trying to find something to fight about!' Got a story?
