“Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby,” the producer wrote on Instagram
Mark Ronson sure knows how to tear up a DJ set. The Grammy-winning producer shared on Instagram that he was in the hospital following a set that went a little awry and left him with two torn bicep tendons. In the photo he posted, Ronson posed from his hospital bed with a thumbs up.
“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 explained in the caption, adding, “Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway.”
Several celebrities, including comedian Chelsea Handler and fellow DJ Diplo, took to the comments. “Whoopsie doodle,” Handler wrote. Meanwhile Diplo noted, “Looks like you just gave birth.” Sammy Hagar offered his well wishes, writing, “Get well soon we need you, brother.”
It’s unclear where Ronson was DJing when he hurt himself. Just last week, the hitmaker was in New York to celebrate the announcement of his upcoming memoir Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City which will be released this fall. “Five hour vinyl set. Just like I used to…” Ronson wrote on Instagram. The producer detailed the memoir in a statement, writing, “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.”
