BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES La primera y única autobiografía de Elton John. Un retrato sincero, alegre y profundo del compositor y cantante con la más larga y exitosa trayectoria musical de la historia. Reginald Dwight, su verdadero nombre, fue un chico tímido con gafas a lo Buddy Holly que creció en Pinner, un pequeño municipio a las afueras de Londres, y soñaba en convertirse en una estrella del pop. Con solo veintitrés años dio su primer concierto en Estados Unidos, ante un público sorprendido por su insólito aspecto: un mono amarillo chillón, una camiseta estampada de estrellas y un par de botas aladas. Elton John había llegado y el mundo de la música jamás volvería a ser el mismo. Su vida está repleta de momentos dramáticos, desde el rechazo que sufrieron sus primeros trabajos con su colaborador y letrista Bernie Taupin hasta la locura que le envolvió cuando era una superestrella que dominaba las listas de ventas, pasando por su flirteo con el suicidio en la piscina de su residencia en Los Ángeles, por la noche en que bailó con la reina de Inglaterra en el castillo de Windsor, por su amistad con John Lennon, Freddie Mercury y George Michael, o por su decisión de montar una fundación contra el sida. Mientras tanto, Elton escondía una adicción que lo atrapó durante más de una década. En Yo, Elton también escribe de manera inspiradora sobre su proceso de rehabilitación y cómo cambió de vida, sobre cómo encontró el amor en los brazos de David Furnish y se convirtió en padre. Su voz en este libro es cálida, modesta y franca, y nos habla de su música y de las personas que entraron en su vida, de sus pasiones y de sus errores. Esta historia permanecerá contigo para siempre, de la mano de una leyenda viva. «Lo mejor del rock and roll es que alguien como yo puede convertirse en una estrella.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.

”Jag lever och har levt ett liv utöver det vanliga, och jag skulle ärligt talat inte vilja ändra på något, inte ens bitarna jag ångrar, för jag är enormt glad över hur allting blev.” Detta är Elton Johns egen livsteckning, historien om ett svindlande liv i och bortom rampljuset. Från de första årens familjedramer och artistdrömmar, genom en ungdom där svårigheter och sorger hållit jämna steg med framgången, fram till de senaste årens livsomvälvande händelser formas en av vår tids största stjärnor och nyskapare inför läsarens ögon. En intim skildring av vuxenblivande och inre kamp i en miljö där gränser ständigt sprängs.

In zijn eerste en enige autobiografie vertelt poplegende Elton John het verhaal van zijn buitengewone leven: hoe het verlegen jongetje Reginald Dwight transformeerde tot de 23-jarige ster die het publiek tijdens zijn eerste Amerikaanse tournee verbijsterde met zijn felgele tuinbroek en een handstand. Openhartig schrijft hij over de eerste afwijzing van zijn werk tot het bestormen van de hitparades; over de vriendschappen met Bernie Taupin, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury en George Michael; over de excessen en de verslavingen die hem decennialang in hun greep hielden, maar ook hoe hij weer clean werd en eindelijk zijn grote liefde vond. Dit is Elton John - warm, grappig en oprecht - over zijn muziek en relaties, zijn successen en zijn mislukkingen.

Lang geleden heeft Elton gezworen dat er nooit een biografie van zijn hand zou verschijnen, maar vorig jaar besloot hij terug te komen op zijn woord. In Love is the cure vertelt Elton John openhartig over zijn leven, zijn liefdes en de invloed die hiv en aids op hem en zijn omgeving hebben gehad. Terugkijkend op het ruige seks-, drugs- en rock-'n-roll-bestaan dat hij heeft geleid, beseft hij dat hij van geluk mag spreken dat hij nog in leven is, nu zoveel van zijn vrienden en kennissen aan aids zijn overleden. Het boek gaat daarom zowel over hemzelf als over de ziekte en hij hoopt met de publicatie en opbrengsten een bijdrage te kunnen leveren aan de voorlichting over en de bestrijding van aids, om zo anderen voor de gevaren ervan te behoeden.

Elton John est un survivant. Il en prend conscience dans les années 80 alors que la plupart de ses amis artistes meurent les uns après les autres d’une maladie alors mal connue et objet d’autant de préjugés que de répulsion. Pourtant il continue à vivre comme avant : excès de drogue et de sexe... Dans ce livre très émouvant, Elton John se livre pour la première fois. Sa remise en question démarre en 1985 alors qu’il accompagne Ryan White, jeune malade du Sida, tout au long de son agonie. Il est témoin de l’ostracisme dont sont victimes ces malades et décide de se battre contre lui. En 1990, il commence une cure de désintoxication dont il narre les souffrances, en sort six mois plus tard et ne replongera jamais plus dans les excès du passé... Rapidement, il crée sa fondation, l’EJAF – Elton John Aid Fondation – et parcourt le monde pour soutenir les organismes qui aident les malades. Pour lui, ce fléau n’est pas une épidémie comme les autres : c’est une maladie de la misère et de l’indifférence qui touche les plus démunis et les plus faibles. Et quand on vit dans un pays qui condamne l’homosexualité comme la Thaïlande, l’Ukraine, l’Afrique du sud, l’Inde... – où l’homosexualité n’est plus un crime que depuis 2009 –, l’absence de compassion, la crainte de la condamnation sociale et familiale font plus de mal encore que le virus lui-même. Avec son bâton de pèlerin, Elton John va réussir à sensibiliser les gouvernements. Mais son indignation touche aussi les laboratoires qui profitent de la recherche publique pour créer leurs médicaments et l’Église catholique qui est longtemps restée opposée à l’usage des préservatifs. Aujourd’hui, l’EJAF a levé des fonds supérieurs à 275 millions de dollars et est active dans 55 pays mais le combat doit continuer. Le sida frappe 34 millions d’hommes avec un million et demi de morts chaque année et reste la sixième cause de mortalité dans le monde. Traduit de l’anglais par Jean-Marc Simard

Ao longo dos anos 1980, Elton John viu amigos e entes queridos perecerem um a um em decorrência da Aids. Em meio a tanta tragédia, ele conheceu Ryan White, um garoto hemofílico discriminado por todos em sua cidade por conta do vírus HIV contraído numa transfusão de sangue. A inspiradora vida de Ryan e seu fim devastador fizeram Elton chegar a duas conclusões importantes: 1ª, sua própria vida estava em crise; 2ª, ele tinha de fazer algo para deter a epidemia de Aids. Desde então, Elton dedicou-se a lutar contra a doença e o terrível estigma que gira em torno dela. Os emocionantes exemplos de amigos como Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, a princesa Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, e muitos outros, inspiraram Elton John a fazer a diferença. O amor é a cura é o relato pessoal dessa história. Nele, o grande artista narra como superou vícios, mudou a própria vida e, com uma determinação férrea, passou a pressionar chefes de Estado, inspirar políticas de saúde pública e colocar-se na linha de frente da luta contra o HIV/Aids.
