See moreA luxurious, exciting collection of famous portraits, candid snapshots and previously unseen Elton John images. A spectacular celebration of Eltonβs enduring legacy.
Elton John: Icon is more than a collection of photographs; it is a celebration of a man who has touched the lives of millions through his music, his style, and his unwavering authenticity. A testament to Elton's enduring legacy, it serves as a tribute to the photographers who have immortalised his journey.
Elton John is a legend in his own time, a melodic genius, breaking barriers in performance, fashion, and activism. Ever since he exploded onto the scene in the 1970s, armed with a flair for making hit songs, Elton has enthralled crowds and attracted the lenses of world-renowned photographers. His spectacular live shows and inexhaustible wardrobe of striking, provocative, and original outfits have become every bit as familiar as his music and just as essential to his extraordinary impact on the cultural landscape.
Following the success of Prince: Icon (ISBN 9781788841818), this is an unmissable addition to the bestselling Icon series. Including photography from Terry O'Neill, Ed Caraeff, David Nutter, Norman Parkinson, Gered Mankowitz, Mike Ross, Janet Macoska, Patrick Harbron, and more, the book offers a glimpse into the life of an icon.
