It's a story of getting it all and losing it all. Addiction, recovery, and starting again. Drawing a vivid portrait of Britain's street culture from the 1980s to the noughties, DJ Fat Tony describes his childhood on a London estate where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man and became best friends with Boy George. He spent his teenage years parading the Kings Road in his latest (mostly stolen) clobber, worked as a receptionist at a brothel, hung out with Leigh Bowery and Andy Warhol, and created his drag persona, before becoming DJ to the stars (including Prince and Madonna) and spiralling into a life-threatening drug addiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a story of loss and redemption and living to tell all the tales in glorious, funny and often heart-breaking detail, from one of social media's best-loved meme-thieves and the world-renowned DJ. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e___________________________________________________________________________ \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'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.

He has played for everyone from Prince to Madonna, and club-hopped his way through the '90s with friends such as George Michael, Neneh Cherry and Kate Moss. A messy drug affair led to a spell in rehab, and he has since enjoyed a renaissance in life, becoming one of fashion's favourite acts as Vogue's resident DJ, and Donatella Versace and Victoria Beckham's go-to party guy. He does this whilst being a leading voice on the sobriety scene, an LGBTQ activist and has recently found a new legion of fans through his social media account of irreverent memes, becoming an unlikely hero of lockdown. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Hennegan (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Michael Hennegan is a writer and journalist who was previously an editor at \u003ci\u003eVogue Russia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times Style\u003c\/i\u003e for over a decade, and who now contributes to titles such as \u003ci\u003eBritish GQ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStyle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eES Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e10 Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGQ Style\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarrods Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSoho House Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coronet Books (GB)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43830612918411,"sku":"9781529389470","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_5d9b0fc9-aba5-46be-810c-daa4f01840c9.jpg?v=1755580308","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/i-dont-take-requests-9781529389470","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
