Hercules!

Comprising a vivid and varied series of miniature biographies, revealing profiles, thought-provoking essays, and a multitude of previously unknown anecdotes and quotes, Hercules!: The A to Z of Elton John is the perfect compendium for the casual fan or devoted connoisseur, providing a funny, comprehensive, and fully alphabetised overview of the star's life and music.

Charting all the highs and lows, the major record releases and the significant tours, the strokes of genius and the bottoms of barrels, this insightful portrait will cover serious subjects such as Elton's battle with the media, his highly publicised addictions, his route to sobriety, his tangled love life and his struggles to come to terms with his sexuality, hair loss, and temper. But, as Elton himself always does so well in the hundreds of interviews he has given over the past half-century, his stories will also be told frankly and humorously, his demons now conquered and his success unrelenting.

At the heart of this book is a joyride through one of the all-time greatest musical catalogues from a brilliant, versatile, glamorous, and universally loved pop superstar.
