Here are 13 of the most iconic celebrity moments in Elton John's memoir, including trash-talking with Freddie Mercury, reuniting John and Yoko, and plenty more

Katharine Hepburn used his pool: “One summer Sunday afternoon, John and I were sitting outside the bungalow having a snack, when we noticed a sixty-something lady who looked a little like Katharine Hepburn cycling up our drive. It was Katharine Hepburn: ‘I’m staying with [Stepford Wives director] Bryan Forbes — he said it would be OK if I used your pool.’ John and I just nodded, dumbstruck. Five minutes later, she reappeared in a swimsuit, complaining that there was a dead frog in the pool.
And he claims he got John back together with Yoko: “He still played with us at Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving 1974, on the condition that we made sure Yoko didn’t come: they were still estranged. Of course, Yoko turned up anyway — which I have to say is very Yoko — but Tony [King, manager of Apple Records] made sure her tickets were out of the sightline of the stage.
A typical L.A. day might feature Dusty Springfield or Paul Simon: “If Dusty Springfield was around, we’d go to the roller derby to see the LA Thunderbirds. It was so camp and fabulous, all scripted, like wrestling, but lesbians loved it — it was basically a load of dykes whizzing round on skates and fighting each other. And we’d have fantastic lunch and dinner parties. Franco Zeffirelli came for lunch and revealed that his close friends called him Irene.
