ELTON JOHN - ICON

"... From his first photoshoot as Reginald Dwight to becoming the chart conquering, Glastonbury-headlining megastar that we know and love, the book brings together live shots, portraits and unseen glimpses into a life in the spotlight, all narrated by the photographers who captured them." — Rolling Stone UK

Elton John is a legend in his own time, a melodic genius, breaking barriers in performance, fashion and activism. Ever since he exploded onto the scene in the 1970s, armed with a flair for making hit songs, Elton has enthralled crowds and attracted the lenses of world-renowned photographers. His spectacular live shows and inexhaustible wardrobe of striking, provocative and original outfits have become every bit as familiar as his music and just as essential to his extraordinary impact on the cultural landscape.

Elton John: Icon is more than a collection of photographs; it is a celebration of a man who has touched the lives of millions through his music, his style, and his unwavering authenticity; a testament to Elton’s enduring legacy, and a tribute to the photographers who have immortalised his journey.

Following the success of Prince: Icon (ISBN 9781788841818), this is an unmissable addition to the bestselling Icon series.

Rothschild, Govert de Roos, David Nutter, Allan Tannenbaum, Sonia Moskowitz, Gered Mankowitz, Norman Parkinson, Barry Schultz, Rob Verhorst, Janet Macoska, David Corio, Patrick Harbron, Jimmy Steinfeldt, Dafydd Jones, Brian Aris, Mark Allan, and Terry O’Neill.
