Judy Parkinson Bücher

Sir Elton John ist unbestritten der erfolgreichste unter den Superstars der Rock-Musik: In den vergangenen 34 Jahren hat er in fast jedem Jahr ein Album herausgebracht. Der englische Exzentriker verkaufte bislang mehr Platten als Elvis Presley oder die Beatles. Mehr als 500 Songs hat diese lebende Metapher für das Außergewöhnliche komponiert oder aufgenommen und während der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte einen fast ununterbrochenen weltweiten Erfolg gefeiert - mit mindestens 60 Hits in den Top Forty und 43 Bestseller-Alben. Die international angesehene Biografin Judy Parkinson zeichnet einfühlsam ein facettenreiches Bild der privaten und öffentlichen Person Elton John, das durch zahlreiche brilliante Fotos abgerundet wird.
