Rap legend Eminem is gearing up for a set at this year's United States Grand Prix, headlining the 'Germania Insurance Super Stage' in Austin.
The Detroit star will feature on the Sprint Saturday of the weekend in October, which will feature the sprint race early in the day before qualifying for Sunday's feature race.
Marshall Mathers is set to kill off his 'Slim Shady' persona on his forthcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) this summer, the 15-time Grammy winner releasing his first album since 2020.
That album is expected to be released by the time he comes onstage at the Circuit of the Americas, where he will be preceded on the Friday by legendary rocker Sting.
