Mark Ronson says he realised he had to cut down on partying or people would not take his music seriously.

The producer and DJ, 44, said he “was drunk a lot of the time” when he first became famous in the UK.

He told Clara Amfo’s podcast This City: “I just think I was like, ‘Oh, this is cool, this is my life now.’

“And then I started to realise, ‘But if you do that all the time, then people don’t take your music seriously.’
