Rapper Eminem has been hospitalised for drug dependency, two days after cancelling his European tour due to "exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues".
According to his label, the star is currently undergoing treatment for a dependency on sleep medication. "Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, is in the hospital under doctors' care," a statement from Interscope Records said. "He's being treated for dependency on sleep medication."
Earlier this week, a statement issued on behalf of Eminem said that singer would be cancelling all the dates on his proposed European tour with 50 Cent, which was due to finish at Slane on 17 September. The statement also said that the concert dates would not be rescheduled.
Reports that he was planning to retire after his Anger Management tour were recently denied by the singer, who said that he was going to concentrate on producing other artists for a while.
