ELTON: The Biography
Wednesday, January 17 2007

"ELTON: The Biography" by David Buckley will be published by André Deutsch in February 2007 at £20.

On 25 March 2007, Reginald Kenneth Dwight, aka Sir Elton John, will celebrate his 60th birthday. One of music’s true global superstars, the lad from Pinner will be at the centre of massive media attention, and "Elton: The Biography" will be published to tie in with this milestone.

Drawn from over thirty original interviews, including Kiki Dee, Tim Rice, musical collaborators Ray Cooper and Paul Buckmaster, lyricist Gary Osborne, two members of Elton’s first band, and many more friends and associates, alongside meticulous secondary research, "Elton: The Biography" tells a page-turning story of incredible rock ‘n’ roll excess, amazing comebacks, tantrums, high-camp humour and prodigious talent. This authoritative, entertaining and compulsive book traces Elton’s extraordinary journey to national treasure status with wit, intelligence and insight, offering at last an in-depth biographical study worthy of this complex and compelling superstar.

David Buckley is the author of five other highly acclaimed music biographies, including "David Bowie: Strange Fascination", R.E.M. (both Virgin Books) and "Roxy Music: The Thrill of it All" (André Deutsch).
