The singer has recently revealed that fact that Elton John played a big part in getting him off of the bad stuff. Eminem related how Elton John helped him out during the tough spots: “I talk to Elton a lot. We became friends and I talk to him about things, career wise. And he had a substance abuse problem in the past. So when I first wanted to get sober, I called him and spoke to him about it because, he’s somebody who’s in the business and can identify and relate to the lifestyle. Me and him have had similar lives and stuff. So I reached out to him and told him, ‘Look, I’m going through a problem and I need your advice.’” This certainly explains a lot. Eminem’s new eating habits, the gun thing, the dedication to his music… it seems he has finally found the way. Now all Eminem has to do is stick to it… should be a piece of cake, right?
