Eminem: I got sober but it was rough

Rapper has now bounced back

Eminem has been off the music scene for almost 4 years

Eminem struggled to kick his addiction to alcohol and drugs.

The rapper, who entered rehab in 2005, admits he wasn't thinking straight.

‘I just wasn't taking care of myself,’ Eminem told Jonathan Ross on his chat show. ‘At times I wanted to just give it up.’

But Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, is now over his problems.

‘I got sober, but it was pretty rough,’ he admits. ‘A couple of years were bad for me.’
 
Jonathan, 48, took Eminem, 36, to his London house on Monday to show off his comic book collection.

The presenter even gave him a rare issue of The Avengers worth £1,000, reports The Sun.
