Eminem is recovering from a bout with pneumonia that sent him to hospital.
“Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctor’s care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia,” the rapper’s publicist, Dennis Dennehy, said today.
“He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home.”
Eminem’s illness was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.
The 35-year-old rapper rose to stardom thanks to a number of best-selling CDs, personal lyrics and a starring role in the hit 2002 film 8 Mile.
He won Grammys, including best rap album for 'The Slim Shady LP', 'The Marshall Mathers LP' and 'The Eminem Show', and an Oscar for the song 'Lose Yourself' from '8 Mile'.
