According to Fatboy Slim 's website:

Fatboy Slim is the first DJ in the world to have his own tribute DJ. Following in the footsteps of The Bootleg Beatles, The Australian Doors and Bjorn Again, Fatboy Tim has been touring the UK, going down a storm, particularly in University Student Unions. Fatboy Tim's manager commented, "It's exactly what it says on the tin, it's a tribute to one of the country's best DJs and producers. Norman Cook spreads himself thin so those who don't see him play can experience the tribute fantasy." The real Fatboy Slim begins his UK tour tomorrow in Glasgow.
