From blockbuster
albums like Friends and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the 1970s to award-winning
scores in the nineties for the film and Broadway show The Lion King and
the current stage hit Aida, Elton John has never failed to dazzle his audiences-and
never more so than at the funeral of his close friend Diana, Princess of
Wales, when he moved an entire nation with his poignant and powerful performance
of "Candle in the Wind 1997" ("Goodbye England's Rose").
Sir
Elton: The Definitive Biography by Philip Norman
Epically conceived and masterfully
told, Philip Norman's biography of the inimitable, legendary Elton John
searches out the man behind the performer in glittering costumes and sky-high
boots. Norman explores the draining addictions, the failed marriage, attempted
suicides, a multimillionaire's supposed money troubles. He examines Elton's
compulsions and coming out; he illuminates the creative drive that continues
prodigiously and brilliantly to produce new music. What emerges is a frank,
sympathetic portrait so truthful that Elton himself has said, "He's got
me spot on." |
