Music icon Elton John played a crucial role in saving Eminem’s life and helping him battle addiction.
The two artists performed together at the 2001 Grammy Awards, and years later, John became Eminem’s sober coach.
Eminem has struggled with addiction to prescription pills, alcohol, and cocaine, while Elton John overcame cocaine and alcohol addiction in 1990.
A close friend of Eminem revealed that John’s support and understanding of the pressures of the music industry have been instrumental in keeping Eminem on the path to recovery.
Eminem has recently experienced some ups and downs in his personal life with the death of his mother and the news that he will soon be a grandfather.
