Elton promises to help Pete Doherty kick drugs
Monday, June 20 2005

Elton John has offered to help Pete Doherty beat his drug addictions once and for all.

Elton is a huge fan of Babyshambles frontman Doherty, who is dating supermodel Kate Moss, and wants to make sure he realises his full potential instead of succumbing to crack cocaine and heroin.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Elton loves Pete's music and has been a fan for a very long time. Elton himself went to hell and back with his own cocaine and drink addictions and he is concerned about Pete's drug habits - particularly with crack cocaine.

"Elton's seen it all before and he's decided to offer his help to get Pete clean once and for all. He's left messages of support with Pete's management and an open offer stands for Pete to call him or go and stay with him any time."

And Elton hopes to kickstart Doherty's recovery by performing a duet at London's Live 8 concert on July 2, 2005.

The source continues, "Elton is keen to perform with Pete at Live 8. He has been trying to persuade Bob Geldof that it's a good idea."
