Elton John, spreading the love, nothing less. O_o

Since becoming drug free, Eminem has encountered a well-received return to music with a successful album and reunion with fans.

Another part of the rapper’s recovery was revealed Saturday (Jan. 2), courtesy of famed singer Sir Elton John.

Appearing on the BBC Radio’s The Danny Baker Show, the entertainer revealed his current efforts to help Eminem, who had a history of drug abuse. According to John, the Detroit lyricist is doing a great job of kicking his habit.

“I’ve been helping Eminem over the last 18 months and he’s doing brilliantly,” Elton John told Danny Baker. “I’m there if people want my help. If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there’s no point advising people if they don’t want to do it.”

John’s relationship with Eminem goes back to the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards on February 21, 2001.

The pair united on stage for the first time to perform the Eminem’s hit “Stan” in a move to show the rapper/actor had no hate for the gay and lesbian community.

At the time, Eminem was criticized by the LGBT for what they deemed to be anti-gay and violent lyrics in songs from his Grammy Award winning sophomore album, The Marshall Mathers LP.

No stranger to his own struggle with substance abuse, John recounted how he turned down help from concerned friends. Before giving up his habit, the musician was embroiled in a constant struggle with alcohol and cocaine. In 1975, John suffered a drug overdose in Los Angeles.

The revelation of John’s helping of Eminem comes months after the rapper confessed to Vibe last year that he suffered from severe drug addiction.

According to Eminem, his problem led him to take as many as 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium in a day. Currently sober, Eminem is enjoying a wave of success from his latest album Relapse.

The 20-track release, the rapper’s first offering since 2004’s Encore, debuted at number one with more than 608,000 copies sold. Eminem’s forthcoming release, Relapse 2, is slated to hit stores this year.

BEFORE: Eminem Heads Best Selling Artists of the Decade

The much anticipated album by Lil Wayne, Rebirth!! Set for a February 1, 2010 release according to Wikipedia. I checked a bunch of sites to confirm the track list and I came to a consensus of the following, with 9 additional bonus tracks. Not sure whether these will be on the album, on a separate bonus disc or what. Either way, I feel like this album will get scrutinized like Kanye’s 808’s and Heartbreak did. Listen to this with an open mind and you’ll probably appreciate it more. LUKE UPDATE: Even though Amazon leaked some 500 copies of the album, I’m sure the tracklist will change by the time the official album drops.

Em sold more than 32.2 million albums in the 2000s, edging out the Beatles to claim the title of top-selling artist. The Beatles ended up with the decade’s best-selling album (they sold nearly 11.5 million copies of 2000’s greatest-hits comp 1,) besting the likes of ‘NSYNC’s No Strings Attached (11.1 million copies sold) and Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me, (10.5 million). Eminem was the only artist to place two albums on the list; his The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show records landed at #4 and 5, selling 10.2 million and 9.8 million copies, respectively. Interestingly, of the top 10 albums of the decade, the most recently released is Usher’s Confessions, which came out in 2004.
