Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy with Buddy Holly
glasses who grew up in the London suburb of Pinner and dreamed of
becoming a pop star. By the age of twenty-three he was performing his
first gig in America, facing an astonished audience in his bright yellow
dungarees, a star-spangled T-shirt, and boots with wings. Elton John
had arrived and the music world would never be the same again.
His
life has been full of drama, from the early rejection of his work with
song-writing partner Bernie Taupin to spinning out of control as a
chart-topping superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in
his LA swimming pool to disco-dancing with Princess Diana and Queen
Elizabeth; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and
George Michael to setting up his AIDS Foundation to conquering Broadway
with Aida, The Lion King, and Billy Elliot the Musical. All the while Elton was hiding a drug addiction that would grip him for over a decade.
In Me,
Elton also writes powerfully about getting clean and changing his life,
about finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father. In a voice
that is warm, humble, and open, this is Elton on his music and his
relationships, his passions and his mistakes. This is a story that will
stay with you by a living legend.
