What’s good, KMOB1003 Radio fam? Today we’re going back in time and catching up with the legend himself—Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Cook. In a recent interview, he took a look back at his career in the 90s, and boy, did he have some insights to share. Let’s just say fame isn’t all lights and glamour—it can be downright chaotic, but Cook found his way through it all.
Fatboy Slim opened up about how his ex-wife Zoe Ball helped him navigate the ups and downs of fame. He talked about those wild nights in the 90s when the party never seemed to end, and sometimes, that could take a toll. Zoe was his rock, providing the grounding he needed when the lights turned off and the real life started again. It’s rare to hear a superstar DJ get so personal, but Norman let us in, showing us the human side of an artist who was living at 150 miles per hour.
These days, Fatboy Slim might not be producing new records, but his passion for DJing hasn’t cooled off a bit. He’s still hitting the decks, rocking festivals, and bringing that energy to a whole new generation of fans. He’s got an extensive global tour lined up, proving that even though the studio might be on pause, the stage is very much alive. Norman says it’s the love of the music and the connection with the crowd that keeps him going—it’s about creating those unforgettable moments that bring people together.
So, shout out to Fatboy Slim for being real, for reminding us that it’s okay to ask for help when fame gets tough, and for continuing to drop those beats that make us move. If you’ve ever been on a dance floor when “Praise You” came on, you know exactly the kind of magic we’re talking about.
