“If I hadn’t finally taken the big step of asking for help 30 years ago, I’d be dead. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people who have inspired and supported me along the way,” Sir Elton said on Twitter.
He has been open about his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse — as well as the incredible importance of getting sober — since he did so in 1990. The 2019 biopic, ‘Rocketman’, didn’t shy away from John’s addiction.
All congratulations and good will are in order for this amazing man!💜
