Elton John helping Eminem with drug abuse.

Elton John came to Eminem's aid back in 2001 after critics said Eminem's lyrics were homophobic and even made a special appearance during Eminem's performance at the 43rd annual Grammy's to show support.

Now, John is helping Eminem again. For the past 18 months, the flamboyant British icon says he's been quietly helping the rapper cope with a drug addiction.

"He's doing brilliantly," John said in a recent BBC radio interview.
