Mark Ronson shares update from hospital bed after gruesome injury mid-gig
Mark Ronson has been inundated with get-well messages after landing himself in hospital.
The British-American DJ is behind some of pop’s biggest hits, having earned Grammys for Amy Winehouse hit Rehab and Bruno Mars banger Uptown Funk.
Alas, the chart-topping producer has proven that a life in showbiz isn’t all glitz and glamour, as he’s been forced to rest due to an incident involving a very heavy stage monitor.
Amazingly, though, despite hurting himself mid-way through a gig, he still finished the set.
Taking to Instagram this evening, Mark, 49, posted a snap taken of him lying in a hospital bed, flashing a thumbs up.
Despite his arm being in a sling and with various wires on and around him, he still managed to put on a slight smile.
Detailing the accident, his caption read: ‘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.
‘Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby!’
In jest, he concluded by referencing the famous Lady Gaga song with the hashtag #TornThisWay.
Taking to the comments, fans and famous friends were quick to wish him a speedy recovery, as Alan Carr penned: ‘Oh no!! Get well soon – love the hashtag though x’
‘Get well soon bro. prayers up 🙏🏼’, said Daniel Merriweather.
Diplo joked about Mark’s hospital snap: ‘looks like you just gave birth 🫃’

Born in London and raised in New York, Mark began DJing on the local club scene while at university.
Since then, he’s won eight Grammys, including producer of the year and two record of the year gongs.
He has an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Brit, and has worked with some of the world’s biggest artists on tunes you might not actually know are his.
His other tunes include Nothing Breaks Like a Heart by Miley Cyrus, Electricity by Dua Lipa, and Find U Again with Camila Cabello.
Mark also worked on the Barbie soundtrack and co-wrote Shallow from A Star is Born.
Most recently in his career, just days before his unfortunate injury, Mark announced a memoir called Night People, which will feature stories from NYC in the 90s.
His book will be published on September 25 and offer an insight into the aspects of the music scene and characters that shaped his early days as a DJ.
