​Mark Ronson hospitalised after suffering injury during DJ set

Mark Ronson has been hospitalised after suffering an injury on stage, he shared on social media earlier this week.

On Wednesday, April 2, Ronson posted a photo of himself on Instagram from a hospital bed, explaining that he’d been injured during a recent DJ set when trying to move a heavy monitor.

“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 explained.

Ronson went on to explain that he “popped” two tendons in his biceps while moving the speaker, but despite the injury, continued to see his performance through.

“Turns out they weigh more than I thought,” he said. “Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway.”

News of Ronson’s injury comes just days after he announced a new memoir, set to be released later this year, titled Night People: How To Be A DJ in ‘90s NYC.

The book is due to land in September, spotlighting the DJ-producer’s music career over the decades, following his move from London to New York at a young age.

“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 explains.

Described as a “love letter to a vanished era” that shaped his career, the memoir promises to “conjure the undeniable magic of '90s New York, when clubs were diverse, glamorous, a little lawless.”
