Fatboy Slim blasts fame-hungry Madonna Norman Cook shot to fame in the '90s as Fatboy Slim with huge hits like 'Praise You' and 'The Rockafellar Skank', but has been relatively quiet in recent years, only choosing to perform at gigs and festivals rather than release new music, and said he thinks that superstars like Madonna ''always want more fame'', and that's not the life he wants.
The 51-year-old DJ shot to fame in the '90s as Fatboy Slim with huge hits like 'Praise You' and 'The Rockafellar Skank', but has been relatively quiet in recent years, only choosing to perform at gigs and festivals rather than release new music, and said he thinks that superstars like Madonna ''always want more fame'', and that's not the life he wants.
Norman said: ''You look at people like Madonna and it's never enough. They always want more fame and more success and to do bigger gigs. Nowadays I'd rather go sideways than up. I don't want to do things on a bigger scale. I want to do things that are interesting.
''Trotting out the same thing over and over again is boring. And I have no ambition to be higher than a certain level. Cos everything that comes with it just becomes a ballache.''
While he won't be bringing out any new music soon, the 'Weapon Of Choice' hitmaker - who is married to Zoe Ball - said that he's not going to retire any time soon due to an ''endless supply'' of young people wanting to have fun.
Norman told The Observer's The New Review magazine: ''This is a job for life. Because there will always be an endless supply of young people who want to get high and get laid. And also, DJs are not like footballers or pop stars - we don't have a shelf life based on our age. Cos DJ were never really pin-ups...'' "TROTTING OUT THE SAME THING IS BORING" - NORMAN COOK HITS OUT AT MADONNA - Ouch!
Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim has this week hit out at Queen of Pop Madonna for "always wanting more fame”.
The 51-year-old, who rose to fame with hits such as Praise You, said that he’d rather perform at certain gigs and festivals than release new music.
“You look at people like Madonna and it’s never enough,” he said.
“They always want more fame and more success and to do bigger gigs.
“Nowadays I’d rather go sideways than up. I don’t want to do things on a bigger scale. I want to do things that are interesting,” he continued.
“Trotting out the same thing over and over again is boring.
"And I have no ambition to be higher than a certain level. Cos everything that comes with it just becomes a ballache,” he added to The Observer’s The New Review magazine.

I like his rational attitude. That's the truth.
