DJ fat tony tells his story
Tony has worked with the biggest names on the planet from Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, The Beckhams, Elton John and many more but Tony's life wasn't all glitz and glam spent over 28 years a drug addict, tony spent over 1 Million pounds on drugs and ended up homeless on countless occasions.
Tony was 14 when He started drinking, and 16 when He discovered drugs after Freddie Mercury gave him his first line of coke.
Nightclubs were Tony’s escape, helping him to mask the pain of traumatic childhood sexual abuse. For a while, drugs were fun and life was brilliant until he tried to commit suicide after it all got to much.

Can't believe I'm watching this interview,,, Tony was absolutely an inspiration in my own recovery, what the black lady was to him in that meeting was what Tony was to me,, when he told his story,it's been twelve years, one day at a time,in recovery for me, so I would just like to thank him so very much,if you could pass my thanks on to Tony I would appreciate it and be forever grateful
