Description
Sir Elton Hercules John has enjoyed a phenomenal career filled with success, excess, and achievement. His farewell tour was announced as more than 300 dates across all corners of the globe for years. Illness, Covid-19, and other extenuating circumstances conspired to prolong it, but the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour concerts have sold out everywhere as fans take their opportunity to see this unique artist for possibly the last time live on stage.
The Little Guide to Elton John celebrates the career, music, and character of one of the most interesting, colourful, engaging, and interesting popular musicians ever. The book reviews his career and countless highs and recognises his many record-breaking achievements, in music, in his charity work, and farther afield.
