Throughout the course of his career, Elton John has rarely done anything in a way that could be considered routine. So with the release of his new memoir Love Is The Cure, it’s no surprise that he’s using his life story as a platform to also share how we as a society can finally bring an end to the AIDs epidemic.

Love Is The Cure is a look at his life during the era of AIDS and the toll which it has taken on him personally. His friendship with young Ryan White would prove to be deeply inspirational. White’s AIDS-related death shook John into taking stock of his own life, which was a mess and as he took steps to change that, he also would seek to discover how he could make a difference in the midst of the growing AIDS crisis.

John’s new book documents his personal journey to fight AIDS and also his conversations and experiences with friends like Princess Diana, Freddie Mercury and Elizabeth Taylor. Proceeds from the sales of the new book will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
