About Scattershot

Half 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.

Written with honesty and candour, Scattershot allows the reader to witness events unfolding from Taupin's singular perspective, sometimes front and center, sometimes from the edge, yet always described vibrantly, with an infectious energy that only a vivid songwriter's prose could offer.

From his childhood in the East Midlands of England to the glittering, star-studded fishbowl of ‘70s and ‘80s Beverly Hills, Scattershot is an exciting, multi-decade whirlwind around the globe, and into the colourful imaginings of one of music’s most legendary lyricists.
