Lady Gaga says Elton John saved her from two year drugs battle

Lady Gaga was reportedly "saved" by Elton John following a two-year battle with drugs.

The Pokerface hitmaker revealed how the Your Song star helped her through hard times.

Speaking at her artRAVE tour in Sheffield, she told the Sun: "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."

She said: "I'm sober now. Sometimes. Not always. Just when I'm on stage."
