Wow.......glad he got some help.

"When asked how close he was to death, the artist responded that he “was certainly a couple of hours away from death," adding that he "overdosed and almost died.”

I wonder why we never heard about this at the time? We heard heaps about him being locked away morphing into fat Elvis, yet nothing about this? Did he get rushed to the hospital or anything?

curses...foiled again

maybe it was gods way of telling him to stop making music

What a shame! Why didn't he die? Why did he have to survive?

Just when we all thought Eminem was about to die, just when we were all prepared for a celebration full of joy, he survives...

Next time, he better skip those "hours away from death".

Eminem hasn't made music for at least 8 years..... why is he still around ?

Hmmm not true at all.

• Infinite (1996)
• The Slim Shady LP (1999)
• The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
• The Eminem Show (2002)
• Encore (2004
• Curtain Call: The Hits (2005)
• Eminem Presents: The Re-Up (2006)
• Relapse (2009)
• Recovery (2010)

Technically he hasn't put an album out in a year, but before that without the compilation sets, it was only 5 years.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of his, but it's not been eight years. Maxwell, yes. Marshall, no.

I read about that last year I think about his overdose. Sounds rehashed.

Yeah like i said he hasn't made music in 8 years ... you could say The Eminem Show was his last attempt at doing something close to producing a "rap album"

Thanks for the cut and paste job but it's not needed

I used to listen to Em. I think The Slim Shady LP was the best one he did. He started to get too much after Marshall Mathers and he's fallen off since then.

The numbers are there. Can't unring a bell.

So....who cares, we are talking about making rap music , not churning out albums you could make in your bedroom ... after 2002 eminem was spent...

Can't wait until June 22.

I already love 5 songs from his new album. Not listening to anymore until it's released.

I don't care. I am not a fan of his at all. I just corrected the misquote about him not having music in an eight year period. It's that simple.

And actually, the thread is about him being close to death, not making rap music - should we be so technical. (And he probably made all of them in Dre's bedroom)

Moving on....

Because he NEVER broke the oath.

He's one of them too? Impossible.

Have you seen the movie "Angels and Demons" with Tom Hanks?

You would't happen to have any family from Salem, Massachusetts, would you???

If Eminem had actually died......

I wouldn't actually have cared.

Where's DMX? I miss him. Now that's a rapper.

Po Thang!!! His momma beat him silly and turned him into an addict. Addicted to pain, love, drugs, and lonliness.

Don't forget Animal Abuse.

He seems to have a fondness for that, too.
