Mark Ronson harms himself to move stage speakers

Mark Ronson Gave the thumbs up from his hospital bed after popping two tendons in their bicep and trying to move stage equipment.

DJ and producer, 49, published a picture of himself in a hospital dress to Instagram Wednesday, April 2 and explained the damage came from “At that time the house PA was so bad that I tried to turn the stage monitor against the audience in the middle of the mix to give them some extra juice.”

The house PA refers to the internal speaker equipment at the club or the place where Ronson performed; A stage monitor is generally facing the artists so that they can hear themselves above the crowd.

But Ronson shared that it “turns out that they weigh more than I thought … Two popped bicep tendencies and a finished gig later, here we are, baby!” He added the hashtag ”#tornthisway“A reference to the collaborator Lady GagaHit “Born This Way.” (Ronson and Gaga wrote together “Basic,” the Grammy and Oscar-award-winning Song from her movie 2019 A star is born.)

A popped bicep usually occurs where the tendon goes into the leg at the elbow, Mayo Clinic Orthopedic and Sports Medicine explains. It usually happens after “rapidly lifting a heavy object” – like a stage monitor. Physiotherapy, rest and in severe cases, surgery may be required.

Ronson has acted in support of his Just-connected memoirThe Night people: How to be a DJ in the 90s New York City. He recently performed one Five hours of vinyl set“Just as I used to” in New York City.
