The first and only official autobiography of a much-loved global icon.
Sir Elton John, CBE, is a multi-award winning solo artist who has
achieved 38 gold and 31 platinum or multi-platinum albums, has sold
more than 300 million records worldwide, and holds the record for
the biggest-selling single of all time, 'Candle in the Wind 1997'.
In August 2018 Elton was named the most successful male solo artist
in the Billboard Hot 100 chart history, having logged 67 entries,
including nine Number 1s and 27 Top 10s. Elton launched his first
tour in 1970 and since then has performed over 4,000 times in more
than 80 countries. When not recording or touring, Elton devotes his
time to a number of charities, including his own Elton John AIDS
Foundation, which has raised over $300 million and funded
programmes across four continents in the twenty-four years it has
existed. He is married to David Furnish, and they have two
sons.
