Elton John to Publish Memoir

Elton John has announced his memoir. It’s currently schedule for release in 2019 via Henry Holt and Pan Macmillan. John is writing the book with Alex Petridis. It’s described as “a no-holds-barred account of Elton’s life and work” in a press release. Below, read Elton John’s statement on writing about his “crazy life”:

I’m not prone to being a nostalgic person. I’m often accused of only looking forward to my next gig or creative project. It’s come as quite a surprise how cathartic I am finding the process of writing my memoirs. As I look back, I realise what a crazy life I have had the extreme privilege of living. I have grown up in a period of extraordinary change in our world – and have had the joyful honour of rubbing shoulders and working with so many of the people at the heart of these changes. My life has been one helluva rollercoaster ride and it’s still lumbering on. I hope readers will enjoy the ride too.
