Eminem To Testify in Ireland Over 2005 Concert

Ireland’s High Court has issued a request for Eminem to come to Dublin to explain his last-minute cancellation of a 2005 concert, as concert promoters seek $2 million from insurance companies.

Eminem pulled out of the Sept. 17 show, which was part of the Anger Management tour, after complaining of “exhaustion.”

When first announced, the 80,000 tickets for the open-air performance had sold out within an hour.

MCD, the concert’s promoters, are seeking $2 million compensation from three London-based insurance companies when they refused to pay up after the cancellation.

Eminem asked that he be allowed to give his testimony in private regarding his state of health at the time of the concert, but Justice Peter Kelly refused the application, saying it would be inappropriate.

The judge said that there was a constitutional mandate that justice be administered in public, adding that Eminem’s testimony was “possibly crucial” in settling the dispute.

The annual concert in Slane Castle has traditionally been one of the highlights of the live calendar in Ireland, dating back to 1981, when Thin Lizzy and U2 headlined.

Dear slim, i wrote but you still ain't callin. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got em. There probably was a problem at the post office or something. Sometimes i scribble addresses too sloppy when i jot em. But anyways, F*ck it, what's been up? man how's your daughter? my girlfriend's pregnant too, i'm about to be a father. If i have a daughter, guess what i'ma call her? i'ma name her bonnie. I read about your uncle ronnie too i'm sorry. I had a friend kill himself over some Bia'ch who didn't want him. I know you probably hear this everyday, but i'm your biggest fan. I even got the underground sh*t that you did with skam. I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man. I like the sh*t you did with rawkus too, that sh*t was phat. Anyways, i hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan. This is stan.

Come on eminem is the F*cken best rapper going. Eminem we all love ya
