Sir Elton John wants to help Britney Spears turn her life around. The 'Rocket Man' singer, who has successfully battled drink and drug addictions in the past, is concerned about the 25-year-old star's recent wild behavior and has given her his support.

Sources claim Elton has offered Britney - who was recently ordered by a court to take twice-weekly drug tests to prove she's a suitable mother to her two young sons -a private place to stay, away from the paparazzi who hound her.

One source said: "Elton has been watching Britney spiraling out of control over the past few years."

Sir Elton John once tried to commit suicide by putting his head in a gas oven.

The 'Rocket Man' singer's main lyricist Bernie Taupin walked in on the suicide attempt, which took place when the now openly gay singer was set to marry.

Sir Elton John couldn't use a washing machine until he was 43. The 'Rocket Man' singer, now 60, admits he lived such a pampered lifestyle he never had to do household chores.

Elton - who has overcome cocaine addiction - told the 'Enough Rope' TV show: "I wasn't ashamed of being a drug addict but I was ashamed to ask how to work a washing machine. I couldn't do anything for myself."
