Elton John is helping Eminem get off drugs. While the two musicians may at first seem like unlikely friends, Elton John reportedly reached out to Eminem over two years ago when he was deep in the dreggs of drug abuse. Eminem entered a rehab facility in 2005 to help him kick an addiction to sleeping pills.

Elton John told Vibe (via The New York Daily News) magazine:
“I’ve been helping Eminem over the last 18 months and he’s doing brilliantly…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.”
At his worst, Eminem was taking between 10 and 15 pills of Valium and Ambien a day, and almost overdosed on methadone.
