Elton John allegedly kidnapped Robbie Williams in a dramatic attempt to save the star's life, according to sources close to the couple.

Williams, 33, was then admitted to rehab for a dependency on prescription drugs, a bit like Elvis.

Williams, still 33, told reporters that Sir Elton made the dramatic bid to save his life after increasing concerns about the 33 year old star's well being.

An unnamed fat bald man is helping police with their inquiries.
