Elton John: 'I Took Just as Much Cocaine as Whitney'
Elton John, 65, revealed his drug habit was once so severe, he's lucky he didn't suffer the same fate as Whitney Houston.
In a recent interview with E!, the "Tiny Dancer" singer admitted to having major drinking and drug problems, but overcame the addictions in 1990.
"I'd probably be dead. I didn't want to end up like Whitney and I could so easily have ended up like her," declared John.
The six-time Grammy winner, who married David Furnish in 2005 and now has a son, Zachary, added, "I would not be the person I am today. I wouldn't have Zachary, I wouldn't have David, I wouldn't have anything."
Reports are that two plan to have a second child, but they have not confirmed.
