From the back cover:

From Pinner to people's pop star, from humble Reg Dwight to Sir Elton John, renowned rock writer Patrick Humphries traces the glittering yellow brick road of Elton John's life and work.

From 'Your Song' to 'Candle In The Wind 97', tracing the many highs, number ones, sell-out tours and classic rock moments, A Little Bit Funny begins in a nondescript English suburb and ends in the flowering gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Illustrated throughout with more than seventy rare and classic photographs of the star, his spectacular stagewear, homes and possessions, this is the ultimate Elton John biography.
