When two Elton John books cross your desk on the same day... you obviously break out the glitter paper!

Tom Doyle knows how to write books about popular musicians: Pick a critical period of their careers and dig in for 250 pages. Don‘t do an entire career; don‘t try to write 500 pages.
Like his Man on the Run about Paul McCartney‘s first post-Beatles decade, this book covers Elton John in the Seventies. It‘s a bit repetitive—make an album, go on tour, drama—but Doyle‘s spare writing helps to keep it from feeling like a drudge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
