Sir Elton John says he wishes he hadn’t “taken as many drugs” in his career.
The Rocket Man hitmaker has opened up about his struggles with addiction and admitted he would "say no" if he went back in time to the day he first got offered cocaine.
Speaking to LadBible alongside his After All collaborator Charlie Puth, he said: “I wouldn’t have taken as many drugs. Definitely not.
“Although I I continued to work when I took drugs, I didn’t make my best work some of the time.
“I never really wanted to take drugs, I just joined in for the sake of it and it became an addiction.
“I became an addict and alcoholic and I've since, you know, learned my lesson.
“But I would if I could go back to when I first saw a line of cocaine I would say "no" now.”
Last summer, the 74-year-old legend insisted he would be “dead” if he hadn’t asked for help with his alcohol and drugs addiction.
