Elton John’s memoir Me is full of incredible celebrity anecdotes – including the time he threw oranges at Bob Dylan during a party hosted by Simon and Garfunkel

In Me, his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life.

Me is joyously funny, honest and moving, and, naturally, full of incredible celebrity anecdotes!

One of our favourites has to be the time that Elton John threw oranges at Bob Dylan during a party hosted by Simon and Garfunkel.

Dinner was followed by a game of charades, which Simon and Garfunkel turned out to be hopeless at, although not as hopeless as Dylan, it would seem …

Simon and Garfunkel had dinner one night, then played charades. At least, they tried to play charades. They were terrible at it. The best thing I can say about them is that they were better than Bob Dylan. He couldn’t get the hang of the ‘how many syllables?’ thing at all. He couldn’t do ‘sounds like’ either, come to think of it. One of the best lyricists in the world, the greatest man of letters in the history of rock music, and he can’t seem to tell you whether a word’s got one syllable or two syllables or what it rhymes with! He was so hopeless, I started throwing oranges at him. Or so I was informed the next morning, by a cackling Tony King. That’s not really a phone call you want to receive when you’re struggling with a hangover. ‘Morning, darling – do you remember throwing oranges at Bob Dylan last night?’ Oh God.
