The Associated Press and The New York Daily News reports that Eminem has been getting the assistance from Sir Elton John for his highly publicised drug problem. Sir Elton says he's been helping the rapper out for more than a year. Eminem is lucky to have a sober mentor like Elton John, who rode his high to frightening levels himself.
Sir Elton says people who are on drugs are so arrogant and cocky that often they refuse help. Guess that's one way of looking at it. There are many factors which play a role in keeping the addicts hooked. It's like self-imposed blackmail of a sort.
