Eminem New Album 2013 Left for Dead as Death Rumor Circulates
Reports of Eminem's death surfaced all over the Internet today, however it is confirmed to be a hoax as a rep from the emcee denied the rumor.
The initial report said Eminem was stabbed four times in New York City, then proceeded to show him in a hospital bed with the wounds visible.
Fittingly enough Eminem's newest song is titled, "Survival," and is in the trailer for upcoming video game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, to be released November 5.

"Survival" was world premiered last week at a Call of Duty worldwide multi-player event. Eminem appeared on a video at the end of the trailer and told those watching that a music video for the song was on the way, and that details for the album would be coming shortly.
"The [new] song's about fighting back and it seems like it fits Ghosts perfectly," Eminem said in the video statement. "I'm gonna be a big part of the [Call of Duty] game. My new song's in it, got a video dropping for it soon too."
As far as what Eminem's album could be called, recently an image of Eminem with the word Redemption underneath has spread on Twitter. The image is most likely fake, but the title and image align perfectly with his last two albums.
Redemption would complete the story he started telling on Relapse and then continued on Recovery.
"We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He's been working on it for some time. It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up," said Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg in a public statement back in February.
A time that Eminem actually almost died is spoken about in the documentary film, "How to Make Money Selling Drugs," will feature rapper Eminem talking about his past as a drug abuser and how he beat it.
"My name is Marshall. I'm an addict," he says in Matthew Cooke's movie.
"Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died. My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis. They didn't think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death," he says in the documentary.
