Elton John Recalls How Cocaine Became The Drug That 'Opened' Him Up
passed away in April 1990 from AIDS that John realized his own addiction was out of hand.
He was officially sober six months later. And, in tribute to his friend, John created the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 in hopes of supporting innovative HIV prevention, education programs and direct care for people living with the disease. "If I hadn't gone through what I did then I wouldn't have become the person I am now," he recently told."So in a way, I'm grateful for those years of sex and drugs, although I despise looking back on them. I had a good time at the beginning, but at the end it was just awful."
