"As I look back, I realize what a crazy life I have had the extreme privilege of living. I have grown up in a period of extraordinary change in our world – and have had the joyful honor of rubbing shoulders and working with so many of the people at the heart of these changes. My life has been one helluva rollercoaster ride and it’s still lumbering on. I hope readers will enjoy the ride too.”
Music critic Alex Petridis will join John to write the memoir, described in the release as the "first an only" autobiography the singer plans to release.
“Elton John is an extraordinary pop culture figure whose celebrity transcends his music,” said Stephen Rubin, president and publisher at Pan Macmillan in the U.K. “Sure we know the lyrics to all his signature songs, but we love him just as much for his charity work, for his wide circle of friends, including royalty, for his supremely unforgettable outrageousness and sense of style and humor, and for his irresistible likability. To publish this fabulous story in his own singular voice is thrilling.”
