Eminem recovering from pneumonia
Rapper Eminem is recovering well at his Michigan home after he was hospitalised during the festive season for heart problems arising from a bout of pneumonia.
The Slim Shady star, real name Marshall Mathers III, has been suffering from multiple heath problems of late, and reports claim the star has piled on the pounds as a result - he now weighs over 90.7 kilograms.
"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, confirmed.
Eminem's illness first was reported by celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
Eminem, 35, rose to stardom thanks to a number of best-selling CDs, personal lyrics and a starring role in the hit 2002 film '8 Mile.'
