Eminem fans ‘thought they were done crying’ until new video made them ‘emotional to the bone’
Eminem fans 'thought they were done crying' until his latest music video made them 'emotional to the bone'.
Earlier today (21 August), the 51-year-old American rapper - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - released a snippet of the video for 'Somebody Save Me'.
The track in question, which was released last month (21 July) on the The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) album, features fellow rapper, Jelly Roll.

Eminem shared a clip from the music video to his 43.8 million followers on Instagram, captioning the post: "'This is my song from me to you...'
"#SomebodySaveMe video OUT NOW! Link in bio @jellyroll615."
The emotional video features throwback clips of Hailie, Alaina and Stevie as children, as well as his brother Nate.
The concept sees Eminem positioned on the outside looking in while his three children replay milestone moments from their lives that he missed out on due to his career and addiction struggles.
Home videos sees Hailie playing the guitar at a recital, Alaina's graduation, Steve opening presents and Nate during the holidays.
In the video, Em can be seen falling to his knees as he asks for forgiveness for missing out on the memorable moments.
At the end, a message reading, 'If you need help, you are not alone', encourages fans in need of help to visit mental health platform, BetterHelp, which provides direct online counselling and therapy services via web or phone text communication.
