Elton John is Helping Eminem Fight Drug Abuse Problem

Elton John is helping Eminem get clean.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 in the U.K. on Saturday, the 72-year-old John, who has been open about his own past issues with substance abuse, said: “I’m there if people want my help. If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there’s no point advising people if they don’t want to do it.”

Eminem admitted last May that he’d suffered from a serious drug addiction, which had led him to take as many as 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium a day. He opened up to Vibe magazine, saying “The numbers got so high, I don’t even know what I was taking.”
