In his autobiography, Elton John writes about his extraordinary life. Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy 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. 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 superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in his LA swimming pool to triumphantly finding love and acceptance.
