Elton John is the most enduringly successful singer-songwriter of all time. His life is extraordinary, his seven decades (so far) packed with incredible highs and lows. Now, in his own words and with his usual honesty, he shares his story - every hilarious, heartbreaking moment. Elton also writes powerfully about getting clean and setting us his AIDS Foundation. He describes finding true love with David Furnish, holidaying with Versace and singing at Princess Dian's funeral. And he pinpoints the moment he realizes that he wants to be a father and his life changes once again. Joyously funny, entertaining and at times deeply moving, this book will take you on an intimate journey with a living legend.
