I've been a fan of Sir Elton Hercules John's music since I was a kid, but this book has made me a fan of him as a person. What a life, what an extraordinary man.
Highly recommend the audiobook performed by Taran Egerton, who does an absolutely phenomenal job.

In particular I was touched with the way he discussed meeting and falling in love with his husband and them having their sons. Yes the stories about rock and roll legends are hilarious. Yes his story about getting sober was deeply moving. But hearing a queer person, an older queer person, have a fulfilling and happy marriage and two amazing sons, was so touching to me. Stories like that are far too rare.
Even if you don't think you like Elton John, I insist you pick this up. There really is something in here for everyone, and you may come away like I did as a new fan.
