In a career spanning five decades, Elton John has sold over 250
million records worldwide and has appeared in nearly 4,000 live
performances. Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award
winning singer-songwriter is the most successful solo artist Great
Britain has ever produced and the third-most successful artist
overall in American music history (behind only Elvis Presley and
the Beatles). Elton John FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the
Rocket Man chronicles the music legend s entire career to date.
Beginning with his humble, and at times disheartening, childhood in
the North London suburb of Pinner, readers are privy to the
serendipitous meeting between John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, with
whom he d form a songwriting partnership that would ultimately rank
alongside Lennon and McCartney in its success. Investigating the
highs and lows throughout each of John s musical phases and
sartorial changes, the book underscores not only the talent behind
the legend but the unvarnished truth behind tales that are familiar
only to diehard fans.
