ELTON JOHN GETS EMINEM OFF DRUGS
Elton John is once again doing what he does best and sticking his nose into other people’s business in an attempt to stay relevant. This time he’s claiming to be Eminem’s saviour, stating that he’s been helping the formerly homophobic rapper to overcome his addiction to prescription drugs over the past 18 months.
Elton is developing a habit of gaining headlines on the back of ‘helping’ his pop star peers with their substance abuse issues. We’re not quite sure why he feels the need to get so involved and his help isn’t always (or ever?) welcome.
When he tried to muscle in on George Michael’s addictions he was told by George to “shut up and get on with his own life”. And Robbie Williams famously described Elton as ‘weird’ for ‘kidnapping him’ and forcing him into rehab following his departure from Take That in the 90’s.
It’s odd that Elton seems to be offering his counseling skills exclusively to male stars. We do hope he’s not looking for anything in return!
