Eminem's on the Mend
Eminem is getting some R&R after a rough patch over the holidays.
Instead of spending time under the tree, the 35-year-old rapper logged some days in sick bay.
"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.
"He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."
Dennehy did no comment on a TMZ report that claimed Slim Shady had also been suffering from an unspecified heart ailment and that his weight had ballooned to more than 200 pounds.
Following a disastrous 2006 that saw him remarry and redivorce Kim Mathers and then serve a stint in rehab, Eminem kept a relatively low profile last year, spending most of his time in the studio producing tracks for fellow rappers on his label, Shady Records, and working on his own new studio album.
"I'm always working—I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label," he said in a call to New York's Hot 97 in September. "For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio...I went through some personal things. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good."
Dr. Dre is helping Eminem shape the new album, his first full collection of new tracks since 2004’s Encore. The Oscar- and Grammy-winning rapper has not announced a title or a relase date for the new album, but it is expected to drop later this year.
