Eminem pulls out of European tour, Slane 2005 cancelled
Rap star Eminem has cancelled his scheduled European tour, including the September 17 finale in Slane Castle, Co Meath.
The 10-date tour was to begin in Germany before concluding in the Republic, where Eminem was to headline the annual Slane Castle event.
The star is reportedly suffering from exhaustion complicated by other medical problems, and the dates are unlikely to be rescheduled.
Organisers have said full refunds are available from the point of purchase.
Previous headliners at Slane have included Madonna, U2 and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
