For fans of Elton John: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Elton John fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

These picks gather around a shared obsession: the way music shapes lives, careers, and whole eras. Rocketman and Elton John: Never Too Late frame the journey most directly, but the list stretches outward — into doomed rock scenes, tribute bands, 1970s label wars, and games that put an instrument in your hands. Books round out the picture with band histories and broader surveys of popular song. The thread holding it together is music treated as something that costs and transforms in equal measure.
