After helping his stepdad, guitarist Mick Jones, get Foreigner into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Mark Ronson is boosting their new effort to serve as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding band. And he’s offering to DJ himself, too.
On The Tonight Show Thursday, Jimmy Fallon shared an open letter Foreigner wrote to the recently-engaged couple: “We know what love is. We spent 40 years figuring it out…and now you guys have too. Please accept this as our formal offer to be your wedding band.”

With a smile, Ronson responded, “We need to get McCartney on that campaign,” acknowledging the work the former Beatle also did to boost Foreigner’s Rock Hall bid. But then Ronson added, “While we’re here — if you guys need a DJ, Taylor, Travis?”
Fallon then deadpanned, “Yeah, if you need a comedian to go as well, I can do some stand-up.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Ronson did open up about his emotional reaction to Foreigner’s induction into the Rock Hall last year. “My stepdad has done so much for me, he’s such a huge influence — I was so much more excited when they got in than any other award or anything I ever got,” Ronson said. “I actually broke down and cried when I found out that they got in.”
Ronson is currently promoting his new memoir, Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City, which — as its title suggests — is filled with memories from his early days as a DJ and producer in New York City.
“The book is about a lot of things,” Ronson told Rolling Stone recently. “It’s about DJ’ing, and it’s about going out and partying and the ups and downs of that. And then it’s all about New York in the Nineties. But it’s very much like a ghost story in some ways, because it’s a New York that doesn’t exist anymore, especially downtown New York. It was so different in those days. Some of those clubs opened and shuttered five times, even in the course of the Nineties when I was DJ’ing.”
