  For 20 years Elton John has been one of the most consistently successful musicians in the world. Labelled as overweight, unattractive and bisexual, he is also quite unlike the typical superstar. This is the story of how he travelled the road to stardom, a journey as surreal as his flamboyant stage performances. This book tells the enlightening story of Reg Dwight - a child who longed to be loved, he felt pressured by his father and was bullied by his classmates. In his character Elton John his dream became reality. He could hide behind extravagant costumes, give expensive gifts to friends, enjoy afternoon teas with the Queen, indulge in mammoth shopping sprees and alternate between eating binges and fad diets.
