Sir Elton John verabschiedet sich mit einem farbenprächtigen Bildband, der seine Abschiedstour „Farewell Yellow Brick Road“ von 2018 bis 2023 feiert.

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.

In his only official autobiography, music icon Elton John writes about his extraordinary life, which is also the subject of the film Rocketman . 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 on his first tour of America, facing an astonished audience in his tight silver hotpants, bare legs and a T-shirt with ROCK AND ROLL emblazoned across it in sequins. 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 the Queen; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and George Michael to setting up his AIDS Foundation. All the while, Elton was hiding a drug addiction that would grip him for over a decade. In Me Elton also writes about getting clean and changing his life, about finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father.

A deeply personal account of Elton John's life during the era of AIDS and an inspiring call to action. In the 1980s, Elton John saw friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly from AIDS. He befriended Ryan White, a young Indiana boy ostracized because of his HIV infection. Ryan's inspiring life and devastating death led Elton to two realizations: His own life was a mess. And he had to do something to help stop the AIDS crisis. Since then, Elton has dedicated himself to overcoming the plague and the stigma of AIDS. The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised and donated $275 million to date to fighting the disease worldwide. Love Is the Cure includes stories of Elton's close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, and the story of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Sales of Love Is the Cure benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
