First Lawler in Mexico, now this...
Dance supremo Fatboy Slim was robbed at gunpoint by a vicious Mafia gangster during a recent DJ gig in Naples, Italy. Fatboy was rehearsing for a nightclub performance in the Campania city, unaware it had been organised by members of the local Camorra.
Cook explains, "It was a s**tty gig in Naples and no one knew who we were. We'd sold seven tickets. "We said to the promoter, who was a member of the Mafia, 'You know what? Shall we just cancel the gig - it's not really working is it?' "They said, 'Fine, you cancel the gig, but your equipment's staying here,' and then they put a gun to my head. They were taking all our stuff, but I wasn't arguing. Once you've had a gun to your head, everything else seems really trivial."
His Italian trip wasn't the only time Cook came into contact with a pistol - he was confronted by a gunman during a working holiday in Barbados with English TV presenter Jayne Middlemiss. Cook laments, "All of a sudden two blokes came in shooting and I was s**tting my pants. The two of us were under the table thinking, 'So what do you give them? I've only got a packet of fags (cigarettes).' "Luckily my manager has a Rolex. They couldn't believe it - they were like, 'F**king hell, it's a real one.' They were really made up. And that was scary."

Yeah... I'm sure DJing now ranks in the top 5 most dangerous professions... Right between pilots and structural metal workers...
