Mark Ronson suffers stage injury during DJ set, recovery could delay career and memoir promotion
Award-winning music producer and DJ Mark Ronson may be off the decks for a while after suffering a significant on-stage injury. The 49-year-old was hospitalized after tearing both bicep tendons while attempting to move a heavy stage monitor during a live set.
Ronson, who is married to actress Grace Gummer, shared the update from his hospital bed on Wednesday, posting a selfie with a thumbs-up and an honest caption. 'That time the house PA was so bad that I tried to one-hand turn the stage monitor towards the crowd mid-mix,' he wrote. 'Turns out they weigh more than I thought… Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby!' He closed the post with the hashtag '#tornthisway,' a playful nod to Lady Gaga's hit 'Born This Way,' which he co-wrote.
The announcement quickly drew attention online, with fans and fellow musicians flooding the comments with well-wishes and jokes. A source told RadarOnline the injury is 'serious' and that recovery could take months, potentially putting his DJ career on hold for the foreseeable future.
The injury comes just months ahead of the September release of his memoir, Night People: How To Be A DJ in '90s NYC, which he describes as a love letter to the early days of his career and New York's nightlife scene. 'This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity,' he said in a preview.
Ronson, one of the industry's most prolific producers, has worked with artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Bruno Mars. He and Gummer, who announced they were expecting their second child in December 2024, shared the news during a holiday party in New York hosted by Justin Theroux.

Kanye West reportedly receiving treatment at mental health clinic in Spain
Kanye West, now known as Ye, is reportedly receiving treatment at a luxury mental health clinic in Mallorca, Spain, amid ongoing legal issues and public backlash linked to his recent behaviour and controversial statements. According to RadarOnline, the 47-year-old rapper checked into The Balance Rehab Clinic, a high-end wellness facility known for its discreet treatment programs and amenities, including private therapy, yoga sessions, and gourmet cuisine. The clinic reportedly charges $170,000 per week. Ye's wife, Bianca Censori, is said to be staying with him during his treatment. Court documents filed as part of a wrongful termination lawsuit by former employee Benjamin Provo reportedly disclosed West's location. The legal filing adds to a series of issues facing the rapper, whose reputation and business ties have suffered significantly in recent years following a series of inflammatory and antisemitic remarks. Ye has openly admitted to struggles with mental health and substance use, including a dependency on nitrous oxide. His behaviour drew heightened concern in February 2025 after he posted 'I'm a Nazi' and other offensive statements on X (formerly Twitter). The posts were widely condemned and subsequently removed. Despite undergoing treatment in Spain, Ye made a surprise appearance at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial in New York on June 13. He reportedly entered the Manhattan courthouse alongside Christian 'King' Combs and observed the proceedings from an overflow room to avoid disrupting the courtroom, remaining for about 40 minutes before departing. Earlier this year, Ye faced widespread criticism after airing a Super Bowl commercial advertising a $20 T-shirt, labelled 'HH-01,' which many interpreted as a reference to 'Heil Hitler.' The stunt led Shopify to shut down his store. South Korean retailer Coupang also cancelled a concert and pulled Yeezy products following the release of a track titled 'Heil Hitler,' which was later removed from streaming platforms.

Lady Gaga pulls record-breaking 2.1 million crowd in free concert at Copacabana Beach
Lady Gaga has officially set a new world record for the largest standalone concert by a female artist, drawing an estimated 2.1 million fans to Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on 3 May 2025. The free concert, part of the city's cultural initiative 'Todo Mundo no Rio,' surpassed the previous record of 1.6 million set by Madonna at the same venue in 2024. Crowds began arriving early Saturday morning to secure a place for the performance, which marked Gaga's first appearance in Brazil since 2012. The show featured a mix of her career-defining hits such as 'Bad Romance,' 'Poker Face,' and 'Born This Way,' alongside songs from her latest album Mayhem. Gaga also surprised beachgoers the night before the concert by rehearsing live on stage, saying, 'I know this is just a rehearsal, it feels like it's the real show.' Local authorities confirmed the crowd size, with over 500,000 tourists attending and the concert expected to contribute nearly 600 million reais (approximately $106 million) to the local economy. Rio's City Hall, in partnership with private sponsors, organised the event as part of a broader tourism strategy running through 2028. Security for the event was heightened, with more than 5,000 personnel, drones, and surveillance systems deployed. Fans in elaborate costumes, many referencing Gaga's iconic music videos, filled the beach from early morning until the night sky lit up with fireworks following the show. The concert not only celebrated Gaga's return to Brazil but also reinforced Copacabana Beach's reputation as a premier destination for large-scale cultural events. Her performance now stands as a milestone in live music history. Lady Gaga's Mayhem World Tour continues with upcoming dates across South America and Europe, following back-to-back shows in Mexico City last week.
