LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rap star Eminem has been hospitalized for dependency on sleep medication, his label said on Thursday, two days after the recording artist canceled a European tour due to "exhaustion" and "other medical issues."
The back-to-back announcements come weeks after the Detroit Free Press reported that the Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, might retire at the end of his "Anger Management" tour, which also featured his protege, 50 Cent.
Eminem, who turns 33 in October, flatly denied such plans, but has said he wants to focus more on producing artists for his Shady Records label. The North American leg of the tour wrapped recently.
"Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, is in the hospital under doctors' care," Interscope Records said in a statement. "He's being treated for dependency on sleep medication."
A publicist at the Universal Music Group label declined to give further details, including information about where and or for how long the rap star had been hospitalized.
On Tuesday, Eminem said through his label that he was canceling the European leg of his tour, scheduled to run from September 1 in Hamburg to September 17 near Dublin, citing "exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues." Those dates were not expected to be rescheduled, the statement added.

So, is it possible to be addicted to sleeping pills AND be suffering from exhaustion at the same time? If so, you ain't doin' somethin' right...

Now if he only had a lobotomy there may be hope for the young man after all.
I hope Jack's recover is for real, otherwise it looks like he went from pot-head to meth-head.
I'm shocked! Shocked!
Well, ya see, I've been taking all this sleep medication for a long time, and for some reason, I'm always feeling sleepy.
That's not fair. He has lost a ton of weight and is very slim now.
Who the fu** cares anything about this pooooooooooooooooor little spoiled brat rich moron.
Sleep medication? Probably valium.
He looks amazing, doesn't he? Like a totally different guy! His sister should learn his secret.
That's not very nice...by all accounts he's doing really well. He's doing something with poor children or something. I'm choosing to think it's for real. I think he was a very sensitive, but unattractive kid and now he can reach his full potential in the world he lives in, which is something we can't understand.
well, actually i do... i happen to think he is an unbelievably amazing talent... alot of his songs are definitely profanity laced, but i end up finding that the overwhelming majority of people who comment as you did have never even heard an "Eminem" song.
I quite sure you would never want to, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a talent... On an earlier thread I had made the point that not only has this guy made it in an industry dominated by African-Americans, he is on top of it... Whether you are a fan of Eminem, or rap, or whatever that does take talent...
I do certainly agree with you on that point, he certainly did... : )
who cares?
