THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER AND WINNER OF THE ATTITUDE BOOK AWARD 'I
love this man so much. He was, and always will be, my knight in
shining Westwood.' DAVINA MCCALL 'This is a story that should never
have been told' KATE MOSS 'The perfect beach read' THE SUNDAY TIMES
'If you want to change your life but can't.. I strongly advise you
read this book' TRACEY EMIN As one of club culture's most notorious
- and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature.
Here he tells the most extraordinary stories of depravity and
hedonism, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction - and
of recovery, redemption, friendship and the joy of a good tune.

'Anyone can get a party started, but no one keeps it going like Fat
Tony, the energy never dips and what a life he's lived.. He's a
tosser but we still love him.' ELTON JOHN & DAVID FURNISH

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'. Few people have crammed so many lives into one: when
your first line of cocaine is aged 16 with Freddie Mercury, where
do you go from there? I Don't Take Requests is Fat Tony's
breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes.
From his childhood on an estate in Battersea where he honed his
petty criminality, was abused by an older man and made friends with
Boy George, to his teenage years spent parading the Kings Road in
his latest (stolen) clobber, working as a receptionist for a
prostitute, hanging out with Leigh Bowery and Sue Tilley and
creating his drag persona, to his life as DJ to the stars and his
spiral into serious drug addiction. Now, he is 16 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. It is all here in horrifying, glorious,
heart-breaking detail.

'Whenever we host a party, Tony is our first port of call. He'll
have everyone dancing, guarantee great memories, and the stories he
tells... Just don't f*****g ask for any requests!' DAVID &
VICTORIA BECKHAM '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. I wouldn't be without this c*nt.' KELLY
OSBOURNE 'Hearing Tony's story is brutal and shocking. He is
nothing short of a miracle and his willingness to be of service to
others seeking sobriety is testament to how far he has come from
the days of pulling his own teeth out.' MARC JACOBS
