"Sir Elton John is a living superlative. As the solo musical artist who has sold more records worldwide than any other, his biography is packed with mosts-buoyed by the fact that he is now in his sixth decade in the music business, enacting his retirement ("Jexit," as the British press have dubbed it) while simultaneously working as hard as ever to burnish his status as an icon not just of popular music, but of popular culture. Although the literature on John is consequently extensive, a novel approach to his career and music is here offered by historian Matthew Restall"-- Provided by publisher.
