Elton John鈥檚 candid autobiography. Today, Elton is battling his addictions and getting clean. Taron Egerton reads.

In Elton John鈥檚 candid autobiography it鈥檚 the early nineties and Elton is battling with his addictions, and finds himself on the long road to getting clean. Taron Egerton reads.

Elton John tells his extraordinary life story with honesty, humour and irreverence. Here he charts his journey from the shy boy who grew up in Pinner to become one of the 20th century鈥檚 most iconic pop stars. His life is one marked by dramatic highs and lows. His phenomenal career, setting up his AIDS foundation, finding love and starting a family contrast with his battle with addiction and getting clean. It鈥檚 a roller coaster of story that captures the man behind one of music鈥檚 living legends.

Taron Egerton has recently played Elton John in the biopic, Rocketman. Other credits include The Kingsman and its sequel, Testament of Youth and Eddie the Eagle.
