ME by Elton John

‘Elton’s stage extravaganzas have made him a super star … a living legend. Creative people, he says, can be fabulous and charming; they can also be outrageous and stupid. Intimate details of tantrums, addictions and health scares contained in the book are distressing to read. But anecdotes, hilarious and humorous, often lighten this darker side of being creative.’ – Clive Hodges
