The Definitive Biography of Elton John.
Elton John has been the world's greatest music superstar for three decades. His career began with Reg Dwight pounding the piano in a Pinner pub, and perhaps achieved its apotheosis with his performance of 'Goodbye England's Rose' at the funeral of his close friend, Diana, Princess of Wales.
'Sir Elton' is the definitive biography of this legend, whose status and style is unlike any other star of his era. We've watched the glittering costumes and sky-high boots give way to news of the draining addictions, the failed marriage, press battles, the coming out and the latest health scare. But with every revelation we come to cherish him all the more, even to sympathise with this multi-millionaire's supposed money troubles, and to respect him for letting his guard down in David Furnish's film, 'Tantrums And Tiaras'. And of course, while the classics endure, Elton's new music projects still have the power to dazzle.
Elton's story is the stuff of an epic spanning over fifty years, and requires the pen of a master storyteller to do it justice. This is the new, revised and updated edition of Philip Norman's acclaimed biography, a frank yet sympathetic portrait that explores the superstar's paradoxes and attributes - from the rise to success to the attempted suicides, from unsuccessful hair transplants to the groundbreaking celebrity auction, from Watford football club manager to Versace shopaholic.
Includes 16 pages of black and white photographs.
