Elton John has announced that he will publish a new book later this year entitled ‘Love Is The Cure: Ending The Global AIDS Epidemic’.
It will chronicle his work with AIDS charities, as well as other anecdotes and case studies, such as his memories of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 AIDS-related pneumonia of course, and the story of Ryan White, a US teenager who took his school to court after it attempted to expel him for being HIV positive.
John said in a statement: “[AIDS] is a disease that must be cured not by a miraculous vaccine, but by changing hearts and minds, and through a collective effort to break down social barriers and to build bridges of compassion. Why are we not doing more? This is a question I have thought deeply about, and wish to answer – and to help change – by writing this book”.
The book is due to be published by Hodder & Stoughton in July.
