Eminem 'Confirmed' To Make Comeback At Nelson Mandela Gig

In London's Hyde Park...

US rapper Eminem will make his live return in London’s Hyde Park this summer, according to reports in the Sun.

The rapper is expected to be one of the biggest acts at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations on June 27th.

Razorlight, Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox and Queen are also on the bill for the outdoor concert.

The newspaper says that organisers are “amazed to have Eminem on board” for the event.

The event will be the rapper’s first live appearance since he announced his retirement from hip-hop in 2005.

Tickets for Nelson Mandela’s Birthday are available via ballot only.

He never said he was retiring. And he was live at the 2006 BET Awards

Eminem is the most beautiful person on the planet and everyone should be as strong as him, he believes in not giving up your dreams which is what he has in common with nelson to hell with all paparazi who cant think of what to say when they bring up some racist song he taped when he was a kid because he wasnt pissed of at the ex girlfriend who dumped him for a black guy. I mean really he said hes sorry and he is obviously not racist his whole f***n band is black.

Yea I was at Anger Management 3 in Detroit in 2005 and if Eminem was planning to retire afterwards I’m sure he would have mentioned it to his fans who were there that night. It’s awesome to hear that he’s doing this appearance and just confirms my beliefs that he’ll be going on tour this summer with Dre.
