Fatboy Slim Reflects on Waning Passion for Producing Music

Norman Cook, known as Fatboy Slim, says his focus has shifted to live DJing as he struggles to regain his enthusiasm for creating new music.

  • Fatboy Slim, whose last solo album was released in 2004, revealed he no longer feels driven to produce new music but remains passionate about DJing and live performances.
  • The artist shared that his recent singles, including 'Bus Stop Please' and 'Role Model,' originated from live show experiments rather than studio work.
  • Cook admitted he spent years pressuring himself to create new music but ultimately decided to focus on DJing, which he enjoys more and fans continue to support.
  • He expressed hope that his passion for producing music might return in the future but has no immediate plans for a new album.
  • Cook recently faced personal losses, including the death of his mother on Christmas Day, which has added to a challenging year for the 61-year-old artist.
