Bernie Taupin, CBE, has written the soundtrack to millions of lives over the last 60 years. His legendary partnership with Elton John, in addition to his work with everyone from Willie Nelson to Courtney Love, has sealed his standing as one of the most successful lyricists of the modern era, garnering multiple accolades and awards, including an Oscar, two Golden Globes, the Gershwin Prize, induction into the Songwriter's and Rock And Roll Halls Of Fame, and most recently, the Grammys Trustee Award.
But with his new album, 'The Sea Has No Mercy', this iconic storyteller has created the soundtrack to his own life. His first solo record in almost four decades, as well as his first album ever without a co-writer, it presents a master craftsman at his most personal, distilling 75 years of lived experience into 10 songs that are reflective and revealing, vivid and thoughtful, sometimes hushed, sometimes joyful, sometimes elegiac.
