Bernie Taupin is half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music; the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, the man who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions of records worldwide. Together they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics such as 2019's Rocketman and even John's own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a famously private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now.
