Eminem, Linkin Park, 50 set for joint tour

Three of America's biggest artists are planning a huge joint tour later this year, Billboard reports today.

Eminem, 50 Cent and Linkin Park look set to team up with at least one other rock act for the nationwide amble.

Rumours of an Eminem/50 hookup were first touted towards the end of last year, but now the idea appears to have expanded.

The multi-platinum rappers both took time off from touring the US last year; Linkin Park, meanwhile, was one of the highest-grossing artists, taking an estimated $35 million (£19 million) in ticket sales.
