Eminem recovering from pneumonia

Eminem is recovering at his home in Michigan after he was hospitalised with a heart scare caused by a bout of pneumonia, according to reports.

The rapper was taken into hospital in Detroit over the Christmas period, but is now said to be doing well.

His publicist Dennis Dennehy told TMZ: "Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctors' care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia. He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."

The star has suffered from a number of health problems recently and has reportedly put on weight as a result.
