Publisher's Summary

What do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart?

The second volume of Moby's extraordinary life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle.

In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models (infrequently).

It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell apart.

The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme, and unforgiving.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Honest and Self Reflective

A riveting story that recounts the highest highs and the lowest lows of notoriety - it is honest, self reflective and sincere - you do not want it to end!

As the title says

So I read the first one as well. Honestly this is decent cautionary tale about the woes of being rich famous alcoholic and addicted to drugs and sex with random girls. If you’re an aspiring DJ it has a lot of good context on what to expect living that sort of lifestyle. Very depressing ready legit made me feel like a depressed rich artist drug addict just reading it

Truth of being a human

It is a very raw story. I love that Moby reads it, because he knows how to accurately display his emotion felt in the book it is great! Truth is we aren't amazing, and no one is perfect. Always recommending this to everyone!

Great look at the darker side of fame and fortune

Fun and funny at times but dark and depressing at the heart of it. Kudos to Moby for going this deep into the excess of his rock star lifestyle. Wish it had a little more about the music but super engaging listen none the less.
