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?

On May 2, Faber Social will publish the second volume of Moby’s extraordinary life story. “Then It Fell Apart” is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle. In the summer of 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 ecstasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with supermodels (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. It is unedifying, but you can never tear your eyes away from the page.

"A celebrity-filled chronicle of the debauchery and desperation that led to [Moby's sobriety.]" - New York Post

"A wildly entertaining journey through the life of a musician whose unassuming exterior belies a wildness to rival any rock 'n roll memoir you've ever read." - LA Daily News

"Moby's impressively vivid turn of phrase and his post-recovery willingness to show himself in the harshest of lights...is compelling testimony from someone who, finally, knows exactly who he is". - Sunday Times
