About this listen

The outrageously candid memoir from club culture's most beloved—and notorious—DJ, Fat Tony.

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.

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 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.

It is all here in horrifying, glorious, heart-breaking detail.

Critic reviews

"This is a story that should never have been told." (Kate Moss)

"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--t." (Kelly Osbourne)

"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." (Elton John and David Furnish)

We’ve heard all about troublesome Tony, but the beauty of this book is hearing about the hard work he’s put into himself and others. I suspect this will prove inspiring for many…nice work!

Tenacious Tony

Loved this book it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster journey through Fat Tony’s life. I laughed and cried all at the same time! His tales of London nightlife back in the day and battling his addictions are addictive to listen to and keep you wanting more. A must read/listen especially for any other Generation X’ers out there like me! 👌

Fat Tony’s Memoirs are Mesmerising!

So glad he didn’t get an actor to read this book, what an amazing story and life. Love the honesty and humour. One of the best books I’ve listened to in a long time

Brilliant

Absolutely brilliant, listened in two sittings as could not stop. I love how Tony tells his own story and it's funny but brutally honest. I wish it was longer!

Brilliantly funny and honest

This book needs another 6 hours as it was brilliant, and I am sure Tony has a few more stories up his sleave.

absolutely amazing
