Sir Elton John is undoubtedly one of the biggest rock and roll legends of all time. With more than 250 million albums sold, 100 million singles, an Oscar and five Grammies, he has had one of the most successful and sustained careers in music history. The legendary photographer Terry O’Neill has been there from the moment Reginald Dwight became Elton John recording the meteoric rise of "The Rocket Man".
Eltonography is an amazing collection of nearly 240 photographs from O’Neill’s private archive that spans four decades. Mostly unpublished the photographs will trigger memories, amazement and surprise at the breadth of Sir Elton John’s Life in Pictures. From his infamous and flamboyant costumes to his lavish lifestyle and unforgettable performances this book really does capture the life and times of one of the greatest names in show business.
What began as a photo-shoot with the new kid on the pop block in the early 70’s, developed into a friendship and photographic partnership that has taken them both on a journey to fame. This book is a legacy of that relationship. O’Neill said "You can’t help but love Elton. He’s a genius, an enigma, a star, possibly one of the greatest of all time".
