Reviews for Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories of My Life on Tour

""In this lavish and colorful chronicle of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, Elton John begins by remembering the first time he performed before a live audience in 1964, 'when I was a schoolboy of sixteen.' . . . In addition to details on planning the tour, the book features fan remembrances and concert flashbacks. But what makes this volume a standout are the images, especially the fabulous costumes John has worn over the decades (such as the famous Donald Duck costume by designer Bob Mackie). This fun and warm-hearted celebration of a singular performer is as flamboyant and outrageous as Elton John himself."" —Booklist (starred review) ""A must-have for fans and a fitting tribute to an amazing artist."" —Library Journal (starred review)
