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.

This is such a wonderful biography. I chose to listen to the audiobook, which Taron Egerton narrated after playing Elton John in the biopic "Rocketman". Taron did a wonderful job with the narration, and every voice and accent he put on were vibrant and funny!

While hard to listen to, this book was a fascinating insight to Elton John's life. From his rocky start to his sudden fame, down to the dirty details of his addictions and failed relationships. I really came away from this book marveling at all the life he's lived. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good celebrity memoir!

This book deals heavily with Elton John's drug use, addictions (drugs, sex, and eating disorders). It also features discussion about the death of friends and the AIDs crisis in the 80s.
