More about Fatboy Slim's career
Norman Quentin Cook, better known by his stage name Fatboy Slim, began his career as a drummer, playing for the new wave band Disque Attack. That was subsequently followed by a more popular stint in the band The Housemartins.
With The Housemartins, the DJ and musician achieved his first breakthrough, with the band's two albums, London 0 Hull 4 and The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death peaking at number 3 and number 9 on the UK album chart respectively.
The DJ adopted the moniker Fatboy Slim after transitioning to a solo career in 1996. Speaking about the moniker, the DJ explained its origin in an exclusive interview with NPR on Sept. 8, 2001:
"It doesn't mean anything. I've told so many different lies over the years about it I can't actually remember the truth. It's just an oxymoron—a word that can't exist. It kind of suits me—it's kind of goofy and ironic."
Fatboy Slim released his last studio album, Palookaville, on Oct. 4, 2004. The silver certified album peaked at number 14 on the UK album chart as well as at No. 28 on the Swiss album chart.
