Elton John gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Künstlern aller Zeiten, mit Hits wie „Your Song“, „Tiny Dancer“ und „Candle in the Wind“. In seiner Autobiografie erzählt er erstmals die Geschichte seines außergewöhnlichen Lebens und blickt auf sieben Jahrzehnte voller Höhen und Tiefen zurück.
Er offenbart die Wahrheit über seine Kindheit im Londoner Vorort Pinner und die schwierige Beziehung zu seinen Eltern. Reginald Dwight, der später als Elton John berühmt wurde, war ein schüchterner Junge mit dem Traum, Popstar zu werden. Mit 23 Jahren gab er sein erstes Konzert in den USA und begeisterte das Publikum in auffälliger Kleidung.
Die Autobiografie ist voller Dramatik: von der Ablehnung seiner ersten Songs bis zu seinem überwältigenden Erfolg; von Freundschaften mit Stars wie John Lennon und Freddie Mercury bis hin zu persönlichen Kämpfen wie Selbstmordversuchen und Drogenabhängigkeit.
Elton thematisiert seinen Entzug und die Gründung seiner AIDS-Stiftung, beschreibt seine Liebe zu David Furnish, Urlaube mit Gianni Versace und seinen emotionalen Auftritt bei der Beerdigung von Prinzessin Diana. Zudem erzählt er, wie der Wunsch, Vater zu werden, sein Leben grundlegend veränderte.
Humorvoll und tief bewegend nimmt uns diese Autobiografie mit auf eine intime Reise mit einer lebenden Legende.
