His name was Reginald Dwight, a shy, boy from an unhappy home in suburban London, who grew up to be one of the most prolific, flamboyant, successful, and at times, one of the most maligned recording stars in the world. In this one hour "Behind the Music," Elton John talks candidly about his alcohol & cocaine problem, his bout with bulimia, his failed suicide attempts, his relationships with men and women and how he has remained clean and sober for the last 10 years. Includes interviews with songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, Sting, Jeffrey Katzenberg, band mates and Kiki Dee.
