Elton John is a man who needs no introduction. He's a living legend—a musician who has cranked out hit after hit—whether that's albums, soundtracks, or Broadway scores. And for the first time, Rocketman is sharing it all in his memoir, Me. With wit and candor, Elton gives readers an inside look at the wild ride of stardom and beyond: from playing in front of 500,000 screaming fans in a duck costume and battling depression, to pranking his friend Rod Stewart whom he calls ‘Phyllis,’ to cocaine highs and eventually getting sober, chasing love and finding it, raising two boys—and all the songs in between.
Elton has shared his favorite reads this year—and it's clear from his selections that they take story time very seriously in his family.
