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.

Elton John : un nom, une légende vivante. De ses débuts à sa gloire planétaire, sa carrière est à l'image de sa vie : extraordinaire. Aujourd'hui, pour la première fois, il se raconte et nous fait vivre son incroyable aventure, avec ses moments les plus fous et les plus déchirants. Né dans la banlieue londonienne de Pinner, le petit Reginald Dwight se rêve très tôt un destin de pop-star. Il se réalise lors de son tout premier concert aux Etats-Unis sous les yeux d'un public stupéfait par sa combinaison jaune canari, son T-shirt étoilé et ses bottes aux ailes dorées. Elton John est né, et le monde de la musique ne sera plus jamais le même. Des premiers refus essuyés avec son parolier Bernie Taupin à son ascension fulgurante dans les charts ; de ses amitiés avec John Lennon, Freddie Mercury et George Michael à sa rencontre avec la reine d'Angleterre qui l'anoblit ; de ses tentatives de suicide à son addiction à la drogue, tenue secrète, et dont il mettra plus de dix ans à se libérer, ces pages retracent le parcours hors du commun d'une des dernières rock stars du siècle. Elton John est aussi un homme engagé : dans ce livre, il parle très ouvertement de sa désintoxication et de la création de la fondation contre le SIDA qui porte son nom. Il évoque sa rencontre du grand amour en la personne de David Furmish, ses vacances avec Versace et l'enterrement de Lady Diana. Et il revient sur l'instant précis où il a voulu devenir père, au risque de bouleverser à nouveau sa vie. Passionnant, débordant d'humour et profondément émouvant, Moi vous embarque dans un voyage en tête à tête avec une légende vivante.

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

A deeply personal account of Elton John's life during the era of AIDS and an inspiring call to action. In the 1980s, Elton John saw friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly from AIDS. He befriended Ryan White, a young Indiana boy ostracized because of his HIV infection. 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. The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised and donated $275 million to date to fighting the disease worldwide. Love Is the Cure includes stories of Elton's close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, and the story of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Sales of Love Is the Cure benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

For forty years, collector Rob Roth has gathered rare examples of rock tour posters, advertising posters, rock memorabilia, original artwork and items of merchandise. His spectacular collection is so vast that it has never all been put on public display, but when visitors to his spacious New York loft apartment—visitors like Elton John and Alice Cooper—caught a glimpse of some of the material Roth has collected over the years, they were amazed and urged him to let rock fans see the dazzling array of artifacts. When designer John Varvatos saw the collection, he was so stunned by it that he begged Roth to lend him pieces for his new store in Las Vegas. More of Roth's pieces will be on display in the Varvatos Soho store and other upcoming locations in the fall of 2010. Varvatos has even offered to host a launch party in the Soho store for the book at its time of publication. For many, the items lovingly cataloged in the pages of The Art of Classic Rock will evoke nostalgic memories of their youth—of blazing lights, drifting smoke and of the all-pervading power of their favorite rock concerts. Unlike anything else on the market, The Art of Classic Rock is a lavishly produced presentation of the most vivid and exciting artwork from the rock world, as well as a guide to understanding the the most influential rock banks of our time. Each section of The Art of Classic Rock focuses on a well-known band, covering its defining tours and albums to show how the band's iconic designs and graphic styles changed, and to provide an overview of rock history from the period. An introduction to each section puts the images in context, outlining the stage the band and its acts had reached in their development when the particular images and designs displayed were used, and discussing the art and artists behind the work. Each piece of art also features a caption describing exactly what it is, while items with a particular story are accompanied by longer, more detailed text. The Rob Roth collection has been meticulously photographed specifically for this book by photographer Richard Marot who spent hundreds of hours working with a team of technicians to ensure that the images appearing in The Art of Classic Rock are a sumptuous and accurate representation of the truly stunning Rob Roth Collection.
