The release of EMINEM's new album has been moved forward to combat what has been described as "rampant illegal bootlegging".
Despite high security surrounding the album, 'The Eminem Show' is now widely available online - and the album is reportedly being sold in bootleg form in US cities for as little as $5.
The record will now be released a week earlier than originally scheduled. The new US release date is 28 May in the US. It is unclear if the Irish release date of 3 June will be changed.
