Eminem Getting Help from Elton John March 12
At first look the sentence might seem odd perhaps even a little unbelievable but yes the pop star is reaching out and helping the troubled rapper as he faces the very serious issue of substance abuse. John, a friend to Eminem in more recent years has said that he’s been helping the singer get through his substance abuse in the last year and a half. The idea seems quite natural when you consid
er that once Elton John was facing his own substance abuse issues. According to the songwriter Eminem’s efforts are turning out for the better and his battle to overcome drug use looks as if it will be a successful one.
“I’ve been helping Eminem over the last 18 months and he’s doing brilliantly.” John is also quite clear that he’s always been there for those suffering from such problems. “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.”
John has always been clear about his own troubles with substance abuse and likely makes for a good source in battling them Eminem had previously admitted his use had gotten so bad that he’d been abusing prescription drugs like Ambien, Vicodin and Valium. Eminem had made a previous bid in 2005 to stop using and made a major comeback this year working with other rapers like Kanye West and Drake.
