INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW CHAPTER

In his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life, from his rollercoaster lifestyle as shown in the film Rocketman, to becoming a living legend.


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.

Rachel Paez ,

Elton John is a legend and this book is wonderful!

Love this book!!!! I think it’s hilarious and very entertaining. Well written. Reflective. Such a good perspective and very relatable. Elton John is cool and after reading this book he is someone I think would be fun to hangout with. I love the stories and how it all fits together. I would say it starts out slow but turns into such a great story. I absolutely loved this book and the span of time it covers.

The most gorgeous story ever told!

Elton has saved my life since 1998, and to hear his story from his young life to today, it makes me cry, laugh, smile, and can’t ever stop reading it. Taron’s narration is soft, beautiful, and magnificent. This book is well worth it. For the beginner fan of Elton, for the hardcore fan of Elton, for any Elton fan. It’s wonderful. It’s excellent. It’s Weird and Wonderful. (Pun Intended!) ❤️💕💖😄

I love memoirs and autobiography and I truly love Elton John but this was the worst listen EVER! Shockingly unoriginal, boring, a majority is just name dropping, most of whom I have no idea who he’s talking about because I wasn’t born in the 1950’s. Save your time and money and just watch Rocket Man then pick up a different book.
