Me by Elton John Book Summary

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life, from his rollercoaster lifestyle as shown in the film Rocketman, to becoming a living legend.

Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy with Buddy Holly glasses who grew up in the London suburb of Pinner and dreamed of becoming a pop star. By the age of twenty-three he was performing his first gig in America, facing an astonished audience in his bright yellow dungarees, a star-spangled T-shirt, and boots with wings. Elton John had arrived and the music world would never be the same again.

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 chart-topping superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in his LA swimming pool to disco-dancing with Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and George Michael to setting up his AIDS Foundation to conquering Broadway with Aida, The Lion King, and Billy Elliot the Musical. All the while Elton was hiding a drug addiction that would grip him for over a decade.

In Me, Elton also writes powerfully about getting clean and changing his life, about finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father. In a voice that is warm, humble, and open, this is Elton on his music and his relationships, his passions and his mistakes. This is a story that will stay with you by a living legend.

Amazing. I challenge any lifelong fan of Elton John to read this book and not thoroughly enjoy it!

Riveting story. I enjoyed the look into Eltonā€™s life through his eyes. His pure intelligence shines through in his ability to paint a picture in the readers mind that keeps you coming back for more!

Me ..... Boring boring boring. I didnā€™t like that it wasnā€™t read entirely by Elton John and secondly he drops too many names and details that donā€™t matter. If youā€™re looking for a great book try Trevor Noah born a crime. FANTASTIC and itā€™s read by him which makes it way more interesting.

Therapeutic. This book is very therapeutic for all of lifeā€™s struggles. I loved it!

Simply breathtaking. Iā€™ve read many autobiographies, but this one is by far the most real. Iā€™ve never read an autobiography that made me laugh and tear up as much as Eltonā€™s biography. Iā€™m a lifelong fan, my all-time favorite concert was with just him and his piano, and one of my very top dreams in life is to take a piano lesson with Elton. Enjoy the book and become forever inspired to live an extraordinary life!

To the people in the Back. For the record he doesnā€™t talk about how great he is chapter after chapter. You can tell he put some thought into and after all the book is called Me. So the whole book is gonna be about him.

Couldnā€™t put it down!. This book was very well written and interesting.

Excellent!. I was surprised at the excellent quality of this book. Expected it to be like a lot of books by famous people but Elton put it all out there. Would love to read something like ā€œMy Life with Eltonā€ by David to get his perspective. Best book Iā€™ve read in years.

In 1973 I proclaimed Goodbye Yellow Brick Road the best album ever!. And I have never changed my mind in all these years since. I so looked forward to Eltonā€™s autobiography that I started reading at soon as I received the download at midnight. Elton is such a 100% truthful person without any filter. It was so funny to hear about all the trouble that in your face honesty has caused him. His music is the same...without a thought about is this commercial or how will it sell. And the book is written in the same way... it is really Him without a thought of what will the readers think of him. I loved his book! Well done Sir Elton John!!

Enjoyed it.. He has never been one to make excuses or pretend that he is perfect and when you read this book you get the good the bad and the ugly. I enjoyed it and was happy I made the purchase.

What a Life.... As a die-hard Elton fan, This is the greatest memoir iā€™ve ever read. Told in the Rocket Manā€™s words and perspective, it hits me in the heart with sadness, joy, and music. :ā€™D

Overrated!. Honestly, it was just chapter after chapter of him just talking about how great he is. He may be talented, but heā€™s no lady Gaga

Best celebrity bio ever!. Itā€™s by FAR the best celebrity bio I have ever readā€¦the reasonā€¦itā€™s VERY PERSONAL and VERY CANDID. Virtually all celeb bios have a major problem in that they are forced to talk to some extent about the other people who surrounded them. Most try not to say anything bad about anybody and end up writing deadly dull and predictable stories. Iā€™m assuming he got the go-ahead from the other people he writes about because he is almost as candid about them as he is about himselfā€¦hence the stories are very real and personal indeed. I was hesitant to read the bio because I expected it to be a lot like the movie Rocketman, since he produced both around the same timeā€¦couldnā€™t be further from the truth. Me is almost completely different from the filmā€¦the latter is more of an art/music piece.

Great read. Such a great read. I loved learning about my favorite artist. Much respect to Elton John .

Sensational!. Sensational. Beyond candid. Simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. Bravo!

Dxceptional. Not one for autobiographies normally, but WOW...what a wonderful book! Elton is funny, self-deprecating and honest. A lovely read to remind us all ā€” itā€™s not ā€œthe why ifā€™s, itā€™s the whatā€™s next?ā€ Boom.

Elton John Fan. Love the book. Funny in parts and tells the way he wants to tell his story!

Elton. As someone who has followed Eltons life & career, I loved this book! He is very human and certainly has had his ups & downs, this tells it all. Funny, sad, poignant..... good for him!

Best Auto Bio. This book is so well written that you wonā€™t want to put it down. The level of self deprecation is amazing. To read on such a super star who just sees himself as a chubby poof from Pinner is so heart warming. I felt like I was sitting in a parlor with my fabulously entertaining uncle Reg who was relaying his version of every article I had ever read on his life. Itā€™s an absolute must read for any Elton fan.

One of the best. One of the best autobiographies/memoirs I have read - and Iā€™ve read many. Honest, revealing, introspective and entertaining. A worthwhile read from start to finish.

Witty, insightful and honest.. This book seemed to convey a real sense of an incredible life, but not without its challenges that ultimately helped instill a refreshing sense of humility.

Me. What a wonderful,hysterically funny and well written book! Elton is nothing short of honest and outrageous. Loved every page and wish I could shake his hand on being so strong and changing his habits to be healthier. Thank you and love you, Elton.

Me - Elton John. I absolutely loved reading this book! Itā€™s a well-written, fascinating documentation of the life and career of this beloved, larger-than-life rock *gawd*, Elton John. Itā€™s a roller coaster ride of steep highs and deep lows, told with brutal honesty and laugh-out-loud humour. Thoroughly enjoyable!
