Rap god Eminem has been one of the most popular music artists in the world for the past 20 years.
The Detroit bar-spitter rose to fame after signing with Dr Dre in '98 and his second album Slim Shady LP, which came out a year later, even earned him a Grammy.

Since then, he has become one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
Whilst many rappers become 'irrelevant' in their later years, Eminem is 51 and is still strong and kicking.
His 2020 album Music to Be Murdered By was his 11th studio album and his 10th consecutive number-one album.
However, the last time he toured in the UK was in 2018.

So, you can understand why fans are quick to lose their s**t whenever 'tour dates' get announced.
Rumours of a '2024 Revival Tour' in the UK began circulating on social media late last night as hopeful fans listed themselves as 'going'.
A Facebook event group claimed Shady was bringing his Revival Tour to Birmingham Resorts World Arena on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27, 2024.

29,000 people said they were 'interested' and users were obviously filled with excitement.
After thousands fell for it, people soon realised that tickets for the event went on sale five years ago.
Emily Bradley called out the event organiser on Facebook, writing: "I’m seeing a lot of my friends on facebook *interested* in the Eminem tour on 25th April 2024.

"However tickets went on sale 5 years ago apparently and Birmingham's arena have no clue he’s turning up.
"Sorry to spoil Christmas (ps I fell for it too, the w**kers)."
"The amount of people that have believed there is a Eminem tour next year (including myself) just shows how fake the internet is and that we literally shouldn’t trust a thing on social media anymore," another added.
"Seems everyone’s sharing or declaring an interest in an Eminem tour that he did 5 years ago," a third commented.

"Pretty sure he’s not touring. Could be some sort of scam. Careful."
Birmingham Mail got in touch with Resorts World, who confirmed that there's no Eminem tour dates to share at the moment.
Sorry guys.
This comes after a devastated 50 Cent fan shared the moment she was ‘convinced’ he would bring out Eminem at the rapper's recent concert in Manchester.
The Queens rapper - real name is Curtis Jackson - put on an epic show at the AO Arena on 10 November, as concert-goers were loving his old school bangers from the early and late 2000s.
Fifty teased fans with what they thought was a surprise cameo from Shady.
Kayla was one of the thousands who attended - and taking to TikTok - she captured the moment she, and many others, thought Eminem was about to jump on.
"Should of seen my face lol," she captioned the post, which saw fifty chant the words: "Now when I say slim, you say shady - slim [shady], slim [shady].
"When I say doctor you say Dre - doctor [Dre], doctor [Dre].
Instead of Eminem, fans just got another, amazing, 50 Cent song.
