Eminem: My drug problem 'was similar to Jackson's'

Eminem has compared his former drug problems to those of Michael Jackson.

The 'Love The Way You Lie' rapper has compared his addiction to painkillers - which saw him taking between 60 and 90 pills a day at the height of his problem, which he has since beaten - to those of the late 'Thriller' singer, who had a number of prescription drugs in his system when he died, of acute intoxication from powerful medical anaesthetic Propofol, in June last year.
