Elton John will publish an autobiography in 2019. The as-yet untitled memoirs will be published by Pan Macmillan and Henry Holt and music writer Alexis Petridis is helping John write the book. 69-year-old John released a statement saying that writing his memoirs has felt "cathartic." He said, "as I look back, I realize what a crazy life I have had the extreme privilege of living." John has won five Grammys an Academy Award, and is best known for his classic songs "Rocket Man" and "Tiny Dancer."
