Elton John

Meticulously researched and drawing on many original interviews with close friends and associates, Elton John: The Biography is a serious and weighty, but also page-turningly entertaining, biography of one of the most important musical icons of the 20th century. His enormous influence on the music business is hard to quantify, and the work he has done over the years for LGBT rights is just as important.

More than 50 years into Elton's incredible career, this is the definitive biography of a showbiz legend.
