Eminem is being tipped to headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage next year.
Co-organiser Emily Eavis has allegedly tried and failed to get the rap icon to play the world-famous music extravaganza a handful of times before, but an insider has claimed Shady’s epic comeback means there is a chance the ‘Lose Yourself’ hitmaker could be persuaded to top the bill at Worthy Farm in 2025.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It’s been a long time coming but finally, after years of trying, Emily could be about to get her wish.
“It’s by no means a done deal but with a successful comeback in motion a huge headline slot next year makes sense.
“I’m sure everyone behind the scenes is willing things to work out.”
Eminem recently shot to the top of the charts with ‘Houdini’ from his upcoming LP ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’.
The global hit interpolates multiple Eminem classics with ‘Abracadabra’ by the Steve Miller Band.
The video takes fans back to the ‘Without Me’ promo and sees him relive moments from his iconic 2002 music video alongside guest stars Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Pete Davidson.
Eminem even goes back to his trademark bleach blonde hair which he was known for in the early days of his career.
The hip-hip star previously shared news of his new album as he appeared at the 2024 NFL Draft in his home city of Detroit, Michigan, on April 25.
He appeared with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell as they kicked off the Annual Player Selection Meeting and a trailer circulated of a fake reporter announcing the death of Eminem’s alter ego Slim Shady.
They said: “Through his complex and often-criticised, tongue-twisting rhymes, the blonde anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies.”
His rap peer, 50 Cent, said: “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath.”
The reporter continued: “The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.”
In March, Dr. Dre confirmed he has songs on Eminem’s upcoming album.
Speaking on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, he said: “Let me explain something to you right now.
“Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year and I actually talked to him and he said it was OK for me to make that announcement right here on this show.
“I’ve got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually going to hear the entire album for the first time tomorrow. “He holds his music close to his chest, so I haven’t heard everything. I haven’t even heard everything complete that I’ve done, but I’m gonna hear it, and he’s putting out an album this year.”
