Elton John has spoken out about Kate Moss' alleged drug taking.

The singer, a former cocaine addict, has said he is glad that the model was apparently caught out. Moss is now being treated at The Meadows, a clinic in Arizona.

"I think Kate has made a really positive move," Elton told The Mirror today. "The Meadows is a great place. It is where two close friends of mine went. Kate is in very good hands."

He added: "The great thing about England is that the media will give you a very hard time. They won't let you get away with it. I wish Elvis Presley had lived in England because if he had, he would probably still be alive today.

"What this story has achieved is it has forced Kate Moss to get help. Plenty of people must have told her to do something about it. But plenty of people told me and it took me 16 years to go and do it."
