Elton John Says He Has Been Helping Emimen Kick Drugs For More Than a Year

Eminem has revealed that he sought treatment in 2005 for his addiction to Ambien, Vicoden and Valium -- he took upwards of 20 pills everyday and almost suffered an overdose. After dropping out of the drug treatment program, he was back on the drugs in a matter of days. Sir Elton John, Emimen's BFF, who has dealt with his own drug addiction, has been helping the rapper get clean. In an interview with Danny Baker on his Radio 5 Live show last Saturday, Sir Elton says Eminem is doing "brilliantly."
