ELTON GUIDES CHAPLIN THROUGH REHAB
SIR ELTON JOHN has offered his services as an unlikely advisor to troubled rocker TOM CHAPLIN, and the ROCKET MAN has reportedly spent hours on the phone counselling the KEANE star through rehab.
ELTON JOHN and TOM CHAPLIN
Elton was saddened when he heard about Chaplin's battle with alcohol and cocaine addiction, and was determined to help him in any way possible.
The veteran hitmaker was the last person the BEDSHAPED singer expected to hear from, but Elton believes he is the perfect advisor after beating his own substance abuse demons nearly 20 years ago.
A friend of Chaplin's says, "Tom's had so much support after going into rehab but he never expected it would come from someone like Sir Elton John.
"At first he thought it was a wind up - why would Elton take the time out to contact him? Even though they met at Live 8 last year (05) they weren't exactly close friends.
"Tom was moved by the gesture and they've been in touch frequently. Elton knows exactly what Tom's going through."
Chaplin left top London rehab clinic The Priory earlier this month (OCT06), but is still receiving treatment.
