Summary:
The superstar musician and songwriter describes the personal toll the
AIDS
epidemic has taken on his
life
and discusses his efforts to break down social barriers and build compassion through his charity, the Elton John
AIDS
Foundation.
"In the 1980s, Elton John saw friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly from
AIDS
. In the midst of the plague, he befriended Ryan White, a young Indiana boy ostracized by his town and his school because of the HIV infection he had contracted from a blood transfusion. Ryan's inspiring
life
and devastating death led Elton to two realizations: His own
life
was a mess. And he had to do something to help stop the
AIDS
crisis.
Love
Is The
Cure
is Elton's personal account of his
life
during the
AIDS
epidemic, including stories of his close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, and the story of the Elton John
AIDS
Foundation."--Provided by publisher.
