Mark Ronson Hospitalized Following DJ Set Injury
Renowned producer and DJ Mark Ronson faced an unexpected setback this week after landing in the hospital due to an injury sustained during a live performance. The situation unfolded during a recent gig where Ronson, known for his dynamic presence, felt compelled to react swiftly to technical difficulties.
On Wednesday, he took to Instagram to provide his followers with an update, posting a photo of himself in a hospital bed flashing a thumbs-up. In his caption, he humorously recounted the incident: “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! #tornthisway.”
