Organized chronologically and covering every album and song that Sir
Elton Hercules John has ever released, Elton John All the Songs draws

details the creative processes that resulted in seminal albums like
Goodbye Yellowbrick Road, Madman Across the Water, and Tumbleweed
Connection, as well as Academy Award wins for 1995's Lion King and

released in 2021, is also featured alongside Billboard stats, tour
dates, producing and mixing credits, and other insider details that will
keep fans turning pages. Starting with the artist's early days working
as a studio musician in London, and featuring interviews with actors,
musicians, collaborators, and confidantes, Elton John All the Songs
offers readers the most detailed portrait of the artist and his creative
process that has ever been produced. Featuring hundreds of vivid
photographs that celebrate one of music's most visually arresting
performers, Elton John All the Songs is the authoritative guide to one
of rock'n'roll's greatest stars.
