🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wow - I did this on audio and i think it's one of the best I had ever listened to. It was Taron Egerton mostly narrating and his voice was so enigmatic and had my full attention from start to finish. I have always been fascinated by Elton John's life, especially after watching the film Rocketman, and his book dives so deep into different areas of his life. But the thing that really hit me is how much he has experienced and gained in life, but how much he has significantly lost. So many close friends - his chosen family - lost and a lot of these through traumatic circumstances. His family life had a lot of toxic moments, just like his first real relationship. And he is extremely open about it all - his diva behaviour, his addictions, the way he has treated people and himself with disregard throughout his life. He is no angel, he is just apologetically him. And it was such a brilliant, brilliant listen ❤️ can't recommend it enough
