Eminem has announced he will release his second album in under 13 months this summer.

The Detroit rapper's seventh album, and the follow-up to last year's Relapse, will come out on 22 June.

The album was widely expected to be called Relapse 2, however Marshall Mathers had panicked fans yesterday (14 April) by tweeting: "There is no Relapse 2".

In a fresh statement Eminem said: "The idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album."

In a post on his website he added: "The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."

Collaborators on the album include DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin and Boi-1da.

Slim Shady will make his UK live return at this year's T In The Park festival at Balado, his first British gig in seven years.

Eminem was the biggest selling artist of the last decade in the US.
