Elton John opens up about his efforts to help George Michael before his death

By FIONA WARD

 

 

Elton John has spoken candidly about his relationship with the late George Michael, admitting that he made many attempts to help him while he battled with drug addiction.

 

He told Channel 4 News: "I tried to put my arms around him. I tried to help, but you can't help people who don't want to help themselves. I've learnt that as an addict and I'm 28 years clean and sober. When people told me when I was using that I was doing the wrong thing I was so angry and I just told them to go away or I actually used stronger language than that."

 

He continued: "So, I understand George, you know when I said a couple of things, and he did a whole page interview… saying I should shut up and I understood what his reaction was."
