Eminem To Perform At Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Party

AP040522015664.jpgP.W. Botha will get the gas face when Eminem headlines a concert at London’s Hyde Park celebrating the 90th birthday of former South African president Nelson Mandela. Shady’s planned warm-up acts include Stevie Wonder, Queen and a bunch of white British songbirds ranging from Annie Lennox to Keane, with more superstars invited but not yet confirmed. It will be Eminem’s first public performance since 2005. As odes to matricide and songs crudely mocking Tom Green and Moby seem inappropriate, I’m assuming the setlist will consist of “Lose Yourself” and maudlin valentines to Hailie. [NME]

    @drjimmy11: Hey, no talking smack about Paul Rodgers. Dude’s one of the best. But this is not Queen. Wait: didn’t we discuss this a few days ago?

    My favorite quote of the day.

    Stevie Wonder is opening for Eminem?!? I know Stevie can’t, but does anyone else see something wrong with this?

    Yeah, I went there.

    I’m more confused by Queen’s appearance.

    “Queen” did a tour last year with the King of the Passable Hard Rock Frontmen, Paul Rogers.

    The name should really not be typed without quotes if they don’t have Freddie.
