Sir Elton John saved me from drug addiction’ – Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga was ‘saved’ by Sir Elton John.
The ‘Pokerface’ hitmaker – who battled a drug addiction for two years – has revealed how the ‘Candle In The Wind’ star helped her through the hard times.

She said: ‘It’s pretty messed up being friends with people who used to have drug and alcohol problems, like Elton.

‘He got me on the straight and narrow. He was telling me: ‘Gaga, you’re smoking too much’. He saved me.’
Lady Gaga – who is the godmother of Elton and his partner,David Furnish‘s sonElijah– has revealed that she realised she needed help for her addiction at her best friend,Bo O’Connor‘s wedding last year.

She said: ‘I’ve been friends with Bo for 20 years but when she got married I was her maid of honour.
‘I was going through a really hard time and I was high and I was f***ed up throughout her whole wedding.

‘For the rehearsals, for the planning, for the day – and I look back on that day and I remember it, but I’m really sorry I was f***ed up at her wedding because she deserved a sober maid of honour.’

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old singer has revealed that she is still on the road to recovery.
Speaking at her art RAVE tour in Sheffield, England as reported in the Sun newspaper, she said: ‘ I’m sober now.
