Get ready for the world premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late at this year’s festival!

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John candidly shares the truth about his extraordinary life, from the rollercoaster highs and lows depicted in the film "Rocketman" to his rise as a living legend.

Born Reginald Dwight, Elton was a shy boy from the London suburb of Pinner who dreamed of pop stardom while wearing Buddy Holly glasses. By the age of twenty-three, he was making his explosive American debut in bright yellow dungarees, a star-spangled T-shirt, and winged boots, instantly captivating audiences and forever changing the music world.

Elton's life has been anything but ordinary, marked by dramatic highs and lows: from initial rejections of his collaborations with Bernie Taupin to his tumultuous years as a chart-topping superstar; from a half-hearted attempt to drown himself in an LA swimming pool to dancing with Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and George Michael to founding his AIDS Foundation and conquering Broadway with "Aida", "The Lion King", and "Billy Elliot the Musical." Through it all, Elton secretly battled a drug addiction that would dominate over a decade of his life.

In Me, Elton opens up about getting clean and turning his life around, finding love with David Furnish, and embracing fatherhood. With a voice that is warm, humble, and refreshingly honest, Elton reflects on his music, relationships, passions, and mistakes. This is an unforgettable story of a true living legend.
