Mark Ronson suffers stage injury during DJ set, recovery could delay career and memoir promotion
Award-winning music producer and DJ Mark Ronson may be off the decks for a while after suffering a significant on-stage injury. The 49-year-old was hospitalized after tearing both bicep tendons while attempting to move a heavy stage monitor during a live set. Ronson, who is married to actress Grace Gummer, shared the update from his hospital bed on Wednesday, posting a selfie with a thumbs-up and an honest caption. 'That time the house PA was so bad that I tried to one-hand turn the stage monitor towards the crowd mid-mix,' he wrote. 'Turns out they weigh more than I thought… Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby!' He closed the post with the hashtag '#tornthisway,' a playful nod to Lady Gaga's hit 'Born This Way,' which he co-wrote. The announcement quickly drew attention online, with fans and fellow musicians flooding the comments with well-wishes and jokes. A source told RadarOnline the injury is 'serious' and that recovery could take months, potentially putting his DJ career on hold for the foreseeable future. The injury comes just months ahead of the September release of his memoir, Night People: How To Be A DJ in '90s NYC, which he describes as a love letter to the early days of his career and New York's nightlife scene. 'This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity,' he said in a preview. Ronson, one of the industry's most prolific producers, has worked with artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Bruno Mars. He and Gummer, who announced they were expecting their second child in December 2024, shared the news during a holiday party in New York hosted by Justin Theroux.

Mark Ronson recovering from stage injury
A Mark Ronson performance didn't go so well for him. The award-winning producer and artist shared on social media that he hurt himself during a recent DJ set. The 'Uptown Funk' star posted a photo of himself apparently in a hospital bed with a caption that explained what happened. '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,' he wrote. 'Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway' It resulted in some good nature ribbing from fellow producer/DJ Diplo, who wrote in the comments, 'looks like you just gave birth 🫃.' Had it happened earlier, the incident may have made his recently announced book. Ronson announced last week that his upcoming memoir, 'Night People: How To Be A DJ in '90s NYC,' will release in September.' '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,' he posted. '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.' The book is currently available for pre-order.
