The “Rocket Man,” who successfully battled drink and drug addictions, is lending his support to a drug-addicted Britney Spears. According to tabloid reports, Elton has offered Britney a private place to stay away from the glare of the paparazzi.

“Elton has been watching Britney spiraling out of control over the past few years,” says a tab insider.

“He has decided enough is enough and reckons he has plenty of experience in the business to help her. He feels so sorry for her because she had fame at such a young age and hasn’t handled it well.”
