One of music’s true global superstars and most admired figures, Elton John has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide to date, and continues to appear regularly on the singles charts, thanks largely to a series of high-profile collaborations with new faces. He is much loved for his outrageous personality, witty outspokenness, and daring sense of style, but he is also known for his drug addictions, legal problems, and heartbreak. Approaching his 60th birthday, Elton now enjoys a stable relationship with his partner David Furnish, and popular new bands such as the Scissor Sisters have emulated his iconic sound and style. Drawing on many first-hand interviews with his associates and musical collaborators, this page-turning story of high drama and prodigious talent traces Elton John’s journey and offers a critical history of his work, providing a fresh analysis of his contribution to popular music.
"[T]his entertaining biography will definitely appeal to devoted Elton John fans and aficionados of music history and popular culture." - Publishers Weekly.
