Golden Globe winner Adele , 24, has called on her pal Elton John to help battle her crippling stage fright before she performs at the Oscars in February 2013.

They spent an afternoon at Elton's Beverly Hills home last week and Adele came away feeling more confident. "Adele's desperate to overcome her nerves," says a Now magazine insider. "It's been several months since she last played live, so this is going to be a tough gig for her. But Elton's offered to sit with her and give her counselling."
