Captain Fantastic: Elton John's Stellar Trip Through The '70s

by Tom Doyle Author

In the early 1970s, a performer skyrocketed to fame after a memorable concert in Los Angeles, leading to a series of chart-topping albums and singles. Despite his public success, he struggled with personal demons, including his sexuality, substance abuse, and a profound sense of shyness. By 1975, he reached the peak of his fame but faced two suicide attempts, reflecting his inner turmoil. After a brief retirement in 1977 at the age of 30, he publicly came out as gay and slowly made his return to music, overcoming the challenges of the decade coupled with black and white full page photographs throughout.
