...oh yeah, and apparently he wasn't injured in that bus wreck.

Eminem to make final bow as solo artist-report
Fri Jul 15, 2005 11:51 AM ET

DETROIT (Reuters) - Rap superstar Eminem plans to make his last solo performance in Ireland in September, the Detroit Free Press, his hometown newspaper, said on Friday.

Citing sources close to the 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, the daily also said his current album "Encore" would probably be his last as he moves to full-time work as a record producer.

The final solo appearance of Mathers, the best-selling hip-hop artist ever, would be at a concert in Dublin, Ireland, on Sept. 17, the Free Press said.

The newspaper quoted his manager, Paul Rosenberg, as saying no official decision had been made about the future of the Grammy and Oscar-winning artist who has recorded three top-10 albums.

But Rosenberg said Mathers' current multi-platinum album was "certainly the cap on this part of his career."

Mathers' spokesman at Interscope Records in Los Angeles could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Free Press said the rapper, who has sold more than $1 billion worth of records, has grown weary of the media spotlight and may be musically spent.

"Marshall feels he's said everything he can say as Eminem," one insider was quoted as saying. "The idea that he intended this ("Encore") to be his last record is something that everyone on the inside circle has known for a while."

Another source said "Encore," which was released last year, had been an especially difficult record for the artist to make. "Marshall really struggles to write for himself now, to speak through the voice of Eminem," the source said.

"He knows as well as anybody that there comes a point where you risk beating this thing to death."

The cover shot on "Encore" shows Mathers taking a bow, and its closing song is entitled "Curtains Down."

In the album's liner notes, and in his current concert tour, Mathers has also played up the figurative death of Eminem.

"This is how you go out with a bang, baby," Mathers says in one video," after pulling the trigger of a pistol that misfires on himself.

maybe he'll finally realize his dream of making the final table of a World Poker Tour event.

BigJohn&TheLions · 07-15-2005, 01:17 PM

Damn. I thought he was finally coming out of the closet.

rkmsuf · 07-15-2005, 01:19 PM

this could have been way more succinct.

Eminem will stop making records until he needs more money.

Thank you and good day.

Eminem is so played out on this board right now, I am almost yearning for a new Tom and Katie story.

the equivalent of a hundred and five years.

Too bad all that time is going to go to waste...

Anyone else expecting to see a thread about Eminem peeing somewhere when they clicked on this thread?

ice4277 · 07-15-2005, 09:36 PM

no, perv

Airhog · 07-15-2005, 10:21 PM

It makes sense though. being a producer is what made him all that cash. And, I am sure the hours are much better. Its also a much more stable job. He could be a producer for years to come, but how many artists stand the test of time?

It's a shame, I love his music.

ice4277 · 07-16-2005, 07:14 AM

From what I have heard, its not actually a retirement but a 'hiatus'. Expect him to be back sooner or later making music again.

RebelMan · 07-16-2005, 10:18 AM

Huzzah! We'll be listening to heavily FCC-scrutinized lyrics in no time!

Leonidas · 07-16-2005, 03:53 PM

And to think, I almost forgot to care.

Pacersfan46 · 07-16-2005, 04:18 PM

Almost, huh? So you do care!

Isn't that cute

Schmidty · 07-16-2005, 06:03 PM

It's so cliche' to say "I hate Eminem". Do you think it makes you cool and cutting-edge?

By the way, Eminem sucks.
