You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I Don’t Take Requests is Fat Tony’s breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes. I strongly advise you read this book' TRACEY EMINAs one of club culture's most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. Also the full turning of the circle with sobriety and Tony now sponsoring other addicts through their journey is a fitting end, as what appears to be a spiritual life now.

It's not a literary masterpiece, and I'd question if you came away from it even liking him as a person, but it's enjoyable, and it stayed with me for a while. He has played for everyone from Prince to Madonna, and club-hopped his way through the '90s with friends such as George Michael, Neneh Cherry and Kate Moss. Drawing a vivid portrait of Britain's street culture from the 1980s to the noughties, DJ Fat Tony describes his childhood on a London estate where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man and became best friends with Boy George. Tony's antics are the kind that were really only possible in the era just preceding omnipresent social media.

I thought DJ Fat Tony’s book would be entertaining but possibly one of those celeb books I wouldn’t really give much thought to. As one of club culture's most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature.This is a highly enjoyable audiobook, I met Tony numerous times in the early 90’s when I worked at Sony. It's the sort of book you can read in the lavatory very quickly, pick up and put down, and then flush away.
