The drugs we were taking were so pure and so free, when you dropped your first E, it was a different form of MDMA. Tony’s candidness is inspirational, but there are certain things that Claire from Coventry doesn’t need to know when she picks up her copy from WHSmith. Now in recovery, this something he is looking back on and talking about in detail to show the grim reality of what can look like such a glam and hedonistic life to those on the outside looking in.

They would come into your living room and they would demolish it, Adam would be stood on his head and he’d be pissing on your sofa.
It's the sort of book you can read in the lavatory very quickly, pick up and put down, and then flush away. I'm glad he took such time to elaborate on those years of debauchery, to highlight just how far he had sunk. Now, he is 14 years sober and, alongside working to help others overcome addiction, DJing for everyone from Elton John to Louis Vuitton and the Beckhams – and running one of lockdown’s most popular Instagram accounts with its wickedly funny memes.I’d had thirty years of destruction, and just survival, and there’s a big difference between surviving and living. He watched his community die around him in the 1980s, he says, and doesn't shy away from the realities of the AIDS crisis, dedicating a chapter of the book to it.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, we still row and he can still be a c**t, but now I understand the reasons why and can diffuse the bomb in seconds. The latter is unquestionably an honest, glamorous and wild ride of a book but there’s something about “I Don’t Take Requests” that really gets to you. This is the first year that an Attitude Award has gone to a book that has made a significant difference to the LGBTQ+ community. Most memoirs are commissioned by a publishing house, who first sign the talent and then commission a nameless ‘ghost’ – the person who actually puts pen to paper. Mixmag will use the information you provide to send you the Mixmag newsletter using Mailchimp as our marketing platform.DJ Fat Tony has been described as ‘the closest thing that club culture has to a national treasure’ and the ‘unlikely cult hero of quarantine’. Deconstructing a life 'built around destruction' wasn't easy, he says because many of the friends in his life at that time facilitated his addiction continuing. This book really opened my eyes on so many issues, and I felt very emotional at several points hearing his stories.
We all flew to Palm Beach and I DJ'd for three days, I did the welcoming party, the actual wedding reception and the brunch on Sunday. The wickedly funny and brutally honest DJ Fat Tony has announced the release of his first book, described as a 'memoir of a life of extremes'. Whilst there are big names in it, Tony said to Nick: “It's not a book about famous people,” and explained that he changed some of the identities of people.Midway through the book, the drug stories and anecdotes can seem like a bit much, but it's all there written down for a reason.
I post a lot of drug memes and I post a lot of trauma memes, but I post them to laugh because laughing takes the power out of that stuff. From Freddie Mercury giving him his first line of cocaine in Heaven nightclub to starting a DJ duo ‘Fat Moss’ with Kate Moss, his stories are so captivating. The day I slapped Myra Hindley for singing a happy song in the prison laundry: She was Britain’s most notorious female armed robber. There is nobody in London, let alone the world who has lived a more extraordinary life… his journey from villain to real life hero is one of the most beautiful examples of humanity I have ever witnessed. From working as a prostitute's receptionist straight out of school to clubbing with Leigh Bowery in the 80s and caught in the wrath of serious drug addiction problems in the 90s, all the good, the bad and the downright ugly is promised in what's cracked up to be 'one of the most talked-about memoirs of the year'.At multiple points throughout Fat Tony comes across as extremely unlikeable yet somehow (possibly as a result of many years of therapy and making amends) has me rooting for him the whole way through.
Great Deal
