Personal and honest, SHOWstudio contributor and fashion's most infamous DJ, DJ Fat Tony has offered an unforgettably funny and real account of his life, the ups, the downs, the good and a bad, all packed into his own memoir. 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. 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?If you’ve ever been that person - the one still leaning on someone’s kitchen counter at 7am, desperate to cling onto the last dregs of a party - the person who doesn’t want to go home, who can’t even sit with themselves for a second. I Don't Take Requests is Fat Tony's breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes. It’s a dangerous game where you make people feel sorry for you instead of taking responsibility for yourself.

Yep, so that pretty graphic opening sentence tells you straight off the bat that DJ Fat Tony is not holding back when it comes to telling his story. Fat Tony - real name Tony Marnoch - is the 16-years sober DJ who first found fame on the London social scene in the 1980s as a DJ, best mate of Boy George, and any other name you might want to mention from the time. I knew drugs were around at the time, pretty much everyone did them but I never knew how much of a grip they’d taken hold nor the reasons behind it. As such, when Tony talks openly and frankly about abuse (in multiple senses), rehab, mental health, dealing with homophobia, HIV/AIDS, prison, and what a life in recovery has been like for him, one is able to relate to them that much more.As well as his drug addiction, Tony talks about other elements of his life that he was dealing with too. He loves a good meme and crops up in posts from lots of people I follow in music and fashion circles. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Loves long walks along the beach, holding hands and romantic 80's power ballads, partial to electronic music and likes to make the odd mix or two. It’s a brave book, to come out with some of his darkest moments, and it’s great to read and know that he was able to turn his life around, get sober and now is able to offer help and support to others struggling with addiction.
