Rocketman

I first heard Elton John’s music at a friend’s house.  She brought out his first album to play. 

The first of the songs I heard was Your Song.  I became an instant fan.

I would go on to buy his album, Madman Across The Water, Captain Fantastic, Tumbleweed Connection, Yellow Brick Road and others, as his career progressed.

Often controversial, flamboyant, the ultimate showman and infamously temperamental, Elton John carved out a predominate niche in the music industry-a niche he still holds today after almost fifty years of performing.

In Rocketman, published by Carlton Books and featuring a foreword by Elton, readers are treated to a very special event/

Rocketman examines the hit film chronicling the life and career of the legendary performer.

Inside the oversize hardbound book, learn how the actor who plays him prepared for the role, the preparations and production behind the film, how the musical numbers were performed and how the film’s passage through time was achieved.

It’s a joyous journey through the life of the world’s premiere performer will al the bumps, blemishes and tragedies included as well as the triumphs.

Love him or hate him, Elton John has proven to be a solid, classic act whose fans around the globe love
