The unforgettable story, decades before Ted Lasso, of the real-life Watford Football Team, transformed into a powerhouse by coach Graham Taylor and owner Elton John. Nothing has brought English soccer more immediately into the American mainstream than Ted Lasso, which captivated the nation in thirty-four episodes over three seasons. But before there was Jason Sudeikis’s lovable and, at first, hapless AFC Richmond, there was Watford Football Club, a team from the outskirts of London with barely enough fans to fill its stands—and which, in the mid-1970s, was languishing in 92nd place at the bottom of the last division of the English Football League. That is, until rock superstar Elton John—who, with his dad, had followed the team as a boy—bought the lowly franchise and, with legendary manager Graham Taylor, transformed the luckless football club into a top-seeded Premier League team. Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartbreaking, Watford Forever recalls the improbably tender relationship between Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback, who together beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a struggling community.

From the depths of the ''70s rock ''n'' roll excesses through unimaginable personal losses to an inspiring late-life transformation, Cidny Bullens''s story is an utterly compelling journey about living and singing with your authentic voice. An androgynous gender-bending musician from the get-go, Bullens toured extensively with Sir Elton John and performed with Bob Dylan, undergoing a complete immersion in the drug-fueled excesses of 1970s rock ''n'' roll. Despite getting sober, climbing the charts with the Grammy-nominated Survivor, as well as a Grammy nomination for his lead vocals in the soundtrack for the movie Grease, Bullens was unable to break out as a solo star in a world that allowed its artists to cross the gender line, but had much more narrow expectations about how women could behave and perform. Retreating into the conventional lifestyle of a suburban mom, Bullens felt like she was living in an alternate universe. Then whatever world she had was shattered by the tragic death of her younger daughter from cancer. Out of the ashes of despair, Bullens brought forth an award-winning album, Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth, that relaunched the musician''s career. Finally, nine years ago, Cidny claimed his own healing and transitioned from female to male—finding unexpected love, becoming a new stepfather and a grandfather. What he found, too, was his true voice and true power as a performer.

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.

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.

”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.

Die erste und einzige Autobiografie des »Rocket-Man« Elton John gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Künstlern aller Zeiten. »Your Song«, »Tiny Dancer« und »Candle in the Wind« sind nur einige von unzähligen Hits seiner beispiellosen Karriere. Erstmals erzählt er jetzt die Geschichte seines außergewöhnlichen Lebens und blickt zurück auf sieben Jahrzehnte voller Höhen und Tiefen. Er enthüllt die Wahrheit über seine Kindheit im Londoner Vorort Pinner und über die schwierige Beziehung zu seinen Eltern. Reginald Dwight, der später als Elton John weltberühmt werden sollte, war ein schüchterner Junge, der heimlich davon träumte, Popstar zu werden. Im Alter von 23 spielte er seinen ersten Auftritt in den USA und begeisterte in quietschgelber Latzhose, einem sternenbesetzten T-Shirt und geflügelten Stiefeln sein Publikum. Elton John war angekommen – und die Musikwelt sollte nie wieder dieselbe sein. Seine Autobiografie »Ich« ist voller Dramatik: Angefangen bei der Ablehnung der ersten Songs von Elton und seinem Songwriting-Partner Bernie Taupin bis hin zu seinem überwältigenden Erfolg als Weltstar; von den Freundschaften mit John Lennon, Freddie Mercury und George Michael bis hin zum Disco-Tanz mit der Queen; von Selbstmord versuchen bis hin zu seiner Drogensucht, die ihn über ein Jahrzehnt lang fest im Griff hatte. Elton schreibt auch ausführlich über seinen Entzug und den Aufbau seiner AIDS-Stiftung. Er erzählt, wie er in David Furnish die wahre Liebe fand, mit Gianni Versace im Urlaub war und auf der Beerdigung seiner Freundin Prinzessin Diana sang. Und er beschreibt, wie er plötzlich spürte, dass er Vater werden will, und sein Leben sich noch einmal völlig verändert hat. Humorvoll, unterhaltsam und tief bewegend – Elton Johns Autobiografie »Ich« nimmt uns mit auf eine intime Reise mit einer lebenden Legende.

Elton John''s truly remarkable collection of international modernist photography stems from personal passion: since 1991, he has amassed more than two thousand photographs, which include key figures from Europe and America alongside many of the foremost photographers from Japan, Eastern Europe and Latin America. This book draws together the finest works from 1920 to 1950, a period that is widely considered to be photography''s ''coming of age'', a time of great experimentation and innovation when artists pushed the boundaries of the medium. New Vision refers to the term coined by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in the mid 1920s to describe the way photography could be used to see the world through a modern lens. As new technology developed, it allowed the freedom both to experiment and to record, leading to new developments such as photograms, typographics and the bird''s- and worm''s eye views. This period also encompassed key avant-garde movements of the 20th century in which photography played a central role - dada, surrealism, the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism. With over 150 illustrations, an interview with Elton John exploring the motivations behind his collecting, and essays looking at the photographs within the history of modernism and an exploration of the impact of technical innovations on the form, New Vision will introduce a new audience to this unique body of work and provide an indispensable resource to those who are already fans of the period.

For voice and piano with chord symbols and guitar chord diagrams.

Der Mitschnitt des spektakulären Auftritts von Elton John im Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Der exaltierte Künstler trat in seiner Karriere über 200-mal in der Wüstenstadt auf, im September 2011 fand aber trotzdem eine Premiere statt. Neben ihm stand sein Instrument, ein in mehreren Jahren entstandener Spezialflügel, im Mittelpunkt. Dieser gab der Show auch den Namen. Die in Bild und Ton perfekt eingefangene Show beinhaltete natürlich die gröt︣en Hits, die Elton John mal solo, mal in kleiner Besetzung oder mit Bigband-Begleitung aufführte. Making-of, Live in Kiev.

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.
