When Freddie Mercury died in 1991, aged just 45, the world was rocked by the vibrant and flamboyant star's tragic secret that he had been battling AIDS.

Stunning dual biography of Freddie and AIDS
- By tru britty on 07-19-18
By: Matt Richards, and others
Publisher's Summary
In his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life, which is also the subject of the smash-hit film Rocketman. The result is Me - the joyously funny, honest and moving story of the most enduringly successful singer/songwriter of all time.
Read by actor and star of Rocketman, Taron Egerton, with an introduction and epilogue read by Elton John.
Christened Reginald Dwight, he was a shy boy with Buddy Holly glasses who grew up in the London suburb of Pinner and dreamed of becoming a pop star. By the age of 23, he was performing his first gig in America, facing an astonished audience in his bright yellow dungarees, a star-spangled T-shirt and boots with wings. Elton John had arrived and the music world would never be the same again.
His life has been full of drama, from the early rejection of his work with songwriting partner Bernie Taupin to spinning out of control as a chart-topping superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in his LA swimming pool to disco-dancing with the queen; from friendships with John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and George Michael to setting up his AIDS Foundation. All the while, Elton was hiding a drug addiction that would grip him for more than a decade.
In Me Elton also writes powerfully about getting clean and changing his life, about finding love with David Furnish and becoming a father. In a voice that is warm, humble and open, this is Elton on his music and his relationships, his passions and his mistakes. This is a story that will stay with you, by a living legend.
Critic Reviews
"Self-deprecating, funny.... You cannot help but enjoy his company throughout, temper tantrums and all." (The Times)

Amazing Story
I have so much more respect for Elton John after listening to his autobiography. What an incredible life and the way he tells his story is so honest. I wished it could have been read by Elton himself but after listening to the book I understand why it may have been very tough for him to do it. Tarron’s reading was brilliant and you can hear he enjoyed telling Elton’s story.

Captain bloody Fantastic!
Brilliant book, narration is wonderful. An absolute necessity for anyone who has any interest in Elton or the music of the time. A frank account of his addiction and excesses, moving at times, it takes the listener on a epic journey as the captain, Elton rises to conquer the world from his humble beginnings in the suburb Pinner, along with Bernie, the kid from Lincolnshire. It’s clear he’s not forgotten his roots or the people who helped him along his way, or those who had such a musical influence and shaped his music. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Awesome, heartfelt and honest autobiography
I don’t do autobiographies but I am an Elton John fan.
The story took me back to my childhood in the 70’s and a prized copy of Elton Johns Greatest Hots vol 1 on green cassette.
I loved the film, but wanted more and boy does this deliver, I’ve only seen Elton once and that was at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, luckily I will be seeing him later this year as part of his tour.
Needless to say, I can’t wait!
Enjoy!

Don't expect Elton to read this...
I loved the story, and the incredible life that Sir E has lived. Outstanding. I noted before I downloaded it that it was read by Elton and Tarron , and was expecting as such. I think Elton reads the prologue, which is about 5 minutes overall. The rest is read by Tarron, who frankly murders it. Overacted, soulless and totally devoid of meaning. So so disappointed, would have loved to have heard those amazing stories, read by the man himself.

Amazing emotional journey
This is the first audio book I’ve ever listened too, Elton Johns story was emotional and funny; I’ve never laughed so much during a book. Taron Egerton reading is just the icing on the cake - from playing him in the biopic to reading his audio autobiography.
This was worth 11 hours of listening...highly recommend. A man who has been through many ups and many many downs
If I’ve taken one thing from this audio book. Don’t take cocaine. Ever

A superb highly amusing, and sometimes sad, read from beginning to end.
I loved this book. I've never been a particular fan of his music, being a baby when Elton John enjoyed his first success, but always thought he came over as a decent and caring bloke.
I thought his autobiography would be interesting and entertaining, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Throughout this fast-paced moving book Elton's sense of humour shines through and I found myself laughing out loud on numerous occasions. The guy tells a really good story against himself and this this book is full of anecdotes about other well known faces. What is really refreshing though is that the portraits he paints are affectionate and there is no nastiness. A thoroughly enjoyable book about a born surviour. I absolutely recommend this book whether you are a fan or not... you will be afterwards!
Taron Egerton's narration is the best I've listened to yet on Audible. You couldn't get a better narrator for this book.

Moving, funny, and like the subject, fabulous.
I loved this book! I've always thought of Elton John as one of the greatest musical talents ever, and of Bernie Taupin as one of the greatest lyricists, and I've adored their collaborations over the decades. To see the background to that relationship and the desperate hardship of Elton's childhood, his father's intransigence and inability to love, his mother's selfishness and his love for them in spite of it brought me to tears. I saw Rocketman first, but then I had to have Me as soon as possible. It's well written, and well read. A real page turner. Go, buy, read, download, listen. You won't regret it.

I knew this book would be a rollercoaster of emotions. However I did not know how much. It is just sublimely, outrageously amazing, the truth, heart and honesty is touching in a way that words can't give justice to. I loved Elton before now I feel a connection that is more than fan to star, some of his experiences mirror my own. Knowing this has changed me and my outlook, Sir Elton I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this book xx

Black girls and women disappear every day, but not without a trace. Join actress and activist Erika Alexander in a neo-noir, true crime drama as she searches for Tamika Huston, a 24-year-old Black woman from Spartanburg, SC who went missing in 2004.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
