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)

There are not enough superlatives available to describe to how incredibly amazing this book is. Everybody should listen to this, the best audible book I've ever listened too and touched me in so many ways. Thank you Fat Tony!!

Absolutely unbelievable!!

A cautionary tale of what can happen when low self esteem, a massive ego, narcism and too much money collide. A one man mission to hedonism that stretches over decades of abuse and poor life choices and more importantly, proof that people can change and grow, even in the darkness. Well done Tony - a great listen. X

Brutal honesty life lesson

Absolutely loved this book. Completely and utterly honest. Funny and savage and sometimes a little sad. So glad Tony read it himself and didn’t get an actor. I might listen to it all over again!

Brilliant

This is a highly enjoyable audiobook, I met Tony numerous times in the early 90’s when I worked at Sony. He always seemed. Aloof but not rude. I had no idea what was going on in his life. Well worth a listen 😀

Very heartfelt story
