'This is the most glorious of books. I am besotted by the life I never knew he had.' -Elton JohnHalf of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records.An exciting, multi-decade whirlwind, Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton and Me whizzes around the world as we ride shotgun with Bernie on his extraordinary life.
