Elle Macpherson is in promo mode as she releases her upcoming memoir, Elle. The supermodel, who was nicknamed 'The Body' in her heyday, will detail her life and hugely successful career in the book.

The Australian beauty will also explain her health struggles including her diagnosis of breast cancer seven years ago and her decision to not undergo chemotherapy.

After being diagnosed with HER2-positive oestrogen-receptive intraductal carcinoma following a lumpectomy, Elle received advice from 32 doctors and was urged to undergo a mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and a reconstruction of her breast.

However, the 60-year-old explained she was going to treat her condition with "an intuitive, heart-led holistic approach" instead.

It's likely that Elle's self-titled book will also reveal the story of her family life, relationships and her two sons, Flynn, 26, and Cy, 21. The supermodel has a strong bond with both her boys, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Arpad 'Arki' Busson.

Elle often shares photos and selfies of her boys on social media, both of whom have followed in their mom's footsteps and become models themselves.
