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 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).'
