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 EMINAs 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 weeklong benders and extreme selfdestruction  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 andwhat a life he s lived.. He s a tosser but we still love him.  ELTON JOHN \u0026amp; 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 running one of lockdown s most popular Instagram accounts with its wickedly funny memes.It is all here in horrifying, glorious, heartbreaking detail.___________________________________________________________________________ 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.
