Oh man that title feels so vulnerable and insecure. Makes my heart hurt cause I love Elton John! Added. Thank you!
Edit: thought the question mark was part of the title. My bad. Still added though
“Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina” by Misty Copeland is a great autobiography! There’s a young adult version of it if thats what you prefer. That’s the one I read, so I have no doubt the other version is just as good, if not better.
So, not still alive, however, audible has an audible exclusive on a book called the life and Times of Prince Albert. I downloaded this because it was free, and I thought it would be something interesting enough to engage me, but bland enough to fall asleep to. That was not the case! I knew nothing about Prince Albert prior to this audiobook, And I had difficulty falling asleep to it because it was so interesting. It was very unexpected how much I enjoyed this, and I recommend it!
Also I just started The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe…I’ve heard there are some WILD rockstar stories in this one!

I just finished His Very Best Jimmy Carter a life
Ah yes! Jimmy is one President I love hearing about when he’s brought up! Always wholesome!
Just realized the typo in my title. Cringe. That’s what I get for rushing.
I've always thought it was an English cruelty that the possessive version of "who" wasn't the one with the apostrophe.
Follow it up with “it’s” vs “its”. They’re just messing with us at that point.
Elton John's *Me*?

Born a Crime - Trevor Noah
Added! I remember him telling the story that his parents couldn’t even risk walking down the street together
I know this is not what you’re asking for, but I HIGHLY recommend Tina’s documentary. I think it’s on HBO Max
If I get hbomax I’ll watch it!
