Mark Ronson Hospitalized After Onstage Injury During DJ Performance
Grammy-winning DJ and music producer, Mark Ronson, is currently receiving medical care at a hospital after sustaining an injury while performing a DJ set. The musician, aged 49, shared a photo on Instagram on Wednesday, April 2nd, showing himself in a hospital gown and giving a thumbs-up gesture.
Details of the Incident: Stage Monitor Mishap
In his social media post, Ronson explained the circumstances leading to his injury. He stated that he attempted to adjust a stage monitor, which had poor sound quality, to improve the audio for the audience. “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,” Ronson wrote in the caption. “Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway.” It appears the weight of the monitor caused him to tear two bicep tendons.
Outpouring of Support from Fellow Artists and Fans
Ronson has received an outpouring of support from friends and fans alike in the comments section of his Instagram post. Fellow musicians and DJs expressed their well-wishes for his swift recovery.
- Rita Wilson commented, “Feel better!!!”
- DJ Jazzy Jeff remarked, “Yo…That’s crazy…heal up bro.”
- Josh Groban reacted with: “Yikes. Get well soon!!”
Adding a touch of humor, DJ Diplo commented, “Looks like you just gave birth.”
Upcoming Memoir by Mark Ronson
Despite the setback, Ronson, known for his successful career as a DJ and pop music producer, recently announced the upcoming release of his memoir, titled Night People: How to Be a DJ in ‘90s New York City. The book is scheduled to be released in September and will delve into his experiences in the New York City club scene during the 1990s.
Ronson described the memoir as a “love letter to a vanished era” via an Instagram post on March 27th. He elaborated that the book “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 further added, “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.”
