About Monstering the Rocketman

Elton John takes on The Sun in an explosive 1980s showdown between the world’s biggest pop star and Britain’s fiercest tabloid.

When The Sun publishes false claims accusing Elton of “sordid rent-boy sex sessions,” the Rocketman strikes back with a multi-million-pound lawsuit. But editor Kelvin Mackenzie refuses to back down, unleashing a relentless year-long campaign of intimidation that threatens to break him.

Who wins this high-stakes battle of fame, power, and press brutality - is Elton still standing, or will the Sun finally eclipse him?
