The first ever book by music legend and author of the bestselling
Me, Sir Elton John: a personal, passionate and illuminating journey
of his fight to end the AIDS epidemic. In the 1980s, Elton John saw
friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly
from AIDS. In the midst of the plague, he befriended Ryan White, a
young Indiana boy ostracized by his town and his school because of
the HIV infection he had contracted from a blood transfusion.
Ryan's inspiring life and devastating death led Elton to two
realizations: His own life was a mess. And he had to do something
to help stop the AIDS crisis. Since then, Elton has dedicated
himself to overcoming the plague and the stigma of AIDS. He has
done this through the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised
and donated $275 million to date to fighting the disease worldwide.
Love Is The Cure is Elton's personal account of his life during the
AIDS epidemic, including stories of his close friendships with Ryan
White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and
others, and the story of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. With
powerful conviction and emotional force, Elton conveys the personal
toll AIDS has taken on his life - and his infinite determination to
stop its spread. Elton writes, 'This is a disease that must be
cured not by a miraculous vaccine, but by changing hearts and
minds, and through a collective effort to break down social
barriers and to build bridges of compassion. Why are we not doing
more? This is a question I have thought deeply about, and wish to
answer - and help to change - by writing this book.' The sale of
Love Is the Cure will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
