Fatboy Slim, perhaps the most famous DJ in the world, checked himself into a London rehab clinic on Monday. The DJ, real name Norman Cook, voluntarily entered the facility to fight an addiction to alcohol.

His manager Garry Blackburn said: “Norman’s gone in voluntarily to sort out his drinking problem.”

A source added: “Norman decided that the only way to kick his booze addiction for good was to check himself into a clinic.

“He chose the centre in the South of England because it gets good results and is in a quiet location.”

Fatboy Slim is set to release his first disc in over five years sometimen 2009. The disc, titled “Here Lies Love,” is a concept album he recorded with David Byrne about the life of Imelda Marcos and her relationship with a servant from her childhood.

Sounds kooky.
