Captain Fantastic : Elton John's Stellar Trip Through the '70s
Elton John - Book - by Tom Doyle
(2017)
In
August 1970 Elton John achieved overnight fame after a rousing
performance at the Troubadour in Los Angeles; over the next five years
he was unstoppable, scoring seven consecutive number 1 albums and
sixteen Top 10 singles in America. But behind his outre image and comedy
glasses lay a desperately shy individual, conflicted about his success,
his sexuality, and his narcotic indulgences. In 1975, at the apex of
his fame, John attempted suicide twice yet, after announcing his
retirement in 1977 at the age of thirty as well as coming out as a gay
man, he gradually found his way back to music.
Captain
Fantastic is an intimate look at the rise, fall and rise again of
John's fame-and-drug fuelled decade, with a final section bringing his
life up to 2016.
