Fatboy Slim checks out ofrehab

Fri 3rd Apr, 2009 in International News

After a month in a UK rehabilitation facility, Fatboy Slim – aka Norman Cook – has checked out and returned to his home in Essex. Cook had been at the Providence Project clinic in Bournemouth, England, since March 2nd, having entered the facility for treatment after battling alcoholism.

Australian music fans bore the brunt of Cook’s alcoholism first hand when he toured the country as part of the Good Vibrations festival in February, playing generally shambolic sets.

To stay on track with his rehabilitation, Cook has pulled out of his headline spot at this weekend’s Snowbombing festival in Austria, and has also announced he won’t be taking any DJ gigs until after June, hopefully giving him enough time to fully recuperate.
