Fatboy Slim checks into rehab
| quote: | There had been some questions surrounding Fatboy Slim’s sobriety on his recent Australian tour headlining the Good Vibrations Festival, and those suspicions have been soundly confirmed with news coming through that he’s checked himself into rehab upon his return to the UK.
Otherwise known as Norman Cook, reports emerged that the colourful character entered a specialist clinic on Monday, and it has now been confirmed by his manager Gary Blackburn. “Norman’s gone in voluntarily to sort out his drinking problem,” he said. Cook has been a figure for tabloid gossip ever since his marriage to media identity Zoe Ball, so it’s no surprise that British newspaper The Sun are all over the story. “Norman decided that the only way to kick his booze addiction for good was to check himself into a clinic,” an unnamed ‘source’ was quoted. “He chose the centre in the South of England because it gets good results and is in a quiet location.” |

| quote: | Anyone who was front and centre for Fatboy Slim at the Sydney leg of Good Vibrations on Saturday would have no doubt noticed a few technical mishaps throughout the legendary DJ’s set. There’s been a lot of speculation on what exactly went wrong, and after backing up the next day at the Melbourne event with a set that was widely given the thumbs up from punters, Fatboy – AKA Norman Cook – made a public statement regarding Saturday’s unfortunate events.
“The Sydney crowd this evening were amazing! Despite receiving a complete soaking from the biblical downpour that accompanied the entire set (I haven’t seen weather like that since back home at Glastonbury 2 years ago), they kept me going during the technical nightmare that was my left turntable going down and me having to do the last half hour of the set with one deck and some very un-DJ-like silences… Sydney I salute you!” |
