The second life of DJ Fat Tony: King of the 90s party set tells how he overcame a drug addiction to become the A-list's go-to song-spinner in memoir packed with juicy tidbits about his pals Kate Moss and Tracey Emin
DJ Fat Tony might well boast the most impressive set of celebrity endorsements any author has even seen.
His rip-roaring new memoir, which details a wild life as a jet-setting song spinner alongside a drug addiction that very nearly killed him, comes with glowing reviews of his DJ skills from a slew of A-listers.
The Beckhams call him their 'first port of call' for a party while Kelly Osbourne gushes he's 'one of the most beautiful examples of humanity I have ever witnessed'. Kate Moss was the first person to get a copy of his book.

I Don&#;t Take Requests is the entertaining and emotional memoir bygd DJ Fat Tony. I know of him mainly through Instagram. He loves a good meme and crops up in posts from lots of people inom follow in music and mode circles. I had no idea he&#;s been through so much though &#; he was a drug addict for over 20 years.

Fat Tony doesn&#;t take requests
Push hedonism too far, too long, and you’re either dead or a survivor. Fat Tony has been responsible for some of history’s greatest extended bouts of carefree craziness, but thankfully he stepped back from the edge in time, and can now regale you with ripping yarns of epic star-studded misbehaviour. From a Battersea council estate, Tony Marnach used his silver tongue to talk himself into an international DJ career across the ’80s and ’90s, putting himself in all the right places at all the right times, until he was playing a host of the most significant clubs in both London and New York. Today he&#;s an author, activist, fundraiser and a given at a fashion party. Thanks to his gilded circle of friends, few DJs can give interviews this rollercoaster. Whether he&#;s falling asleep in the Concorde toilet or DJing with Kate Moss at Harry and Meghan&#;s wedding, famous faces are never far away.
