4.5

Elton John reflects on his life and career, including his struggles with addiction, and being an out, gay man during the AIDS epidemic, while also being one of the most famous pop singers of the 20th century. This is a star-studded book, with anecdotes of Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, Geoge Michaels, the Beetles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis, and so many more. It is also a deeply sad story of a man searching for love and acceptance in his own life. Elton is open and honest about his mistakes and wrong doings, but also stands firm in how his decisions good and bad shaped his life. A great read for any fan of the man, the movie Rocketman, or just music fans in general.

If I ever write a memoir I want it to be like this. Owning my wrongs, laying everything on the table, and just going for it. I've always been a fan and this made me love Elton even more.
