Reviews

"""[Taupin] bounces jauntily from anecdote to anecdote in his whirlwind debut memoir...Taupin provides intimate glimpses into the genesis of some of his and John's most well-known hits...Taupin's candor and imagistic writing...hold the reader's attention. It's an appealing complement to Elton John's 2019 memoir Me."" -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""Eloquent and inspiring, Scattershot is a freewheeling memoir that is as warm and evocative as Bernie Taupin's most memorable lyrics. A born storyteller, Taupin gives us the life of an artist whose outlook was shaped by a rare but fascinating blend of lifelong innocence and endless intellectual curiosity."" -- ""Robert Hilburn, author of Johnny Cash: The Life"" ""This is the most glorious of books. I am besotted by the life I never knew he had."" -- ""Elton John"" ""Touching. Charming. Humble. Witty. And exquisitely written. Taupin's words need no musical accompaniment. They sing with a poet's voice."" -- ""Gary Oldman"""
