Bernie Taupin: Elton, music and me

Elton John's musical other half, the famously private man behind many millions of record sales and countless hits, lyricist Bernie Taupin opens up about his life in a new memoir. In Scattershot: Life, Music, Elton, and Me Taupin charts his childhood in provincial Lincolnshire, his fascination with country music and cowboy culture, the heady star-studded LA of the 1970s and '80s to encounters with John Lennon, Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra and Graham Greene.
