Eminem rushed to hospital in heart scare

Rap star taken ill at Christmas

Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III

Eminem was rushed to hospital over Christmas after a severe bout of pneumonia caused heart problems.

The rap star was treated by doctors at a medical centre in Detroit before being sent home to recover.

'Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia,' his publicist tells The Sun.

'He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home.'

US reports also claim the 36-year-old is now heavily overweight and his once slim frame has ballooned to 14st 7lb.
