Eminem Pushes ‘Recovery’ Up for June 21 Release

Eminem fans will be happy to learn that the popular rapper's highly anticipated new album 'Recovery' will be released early, due to its recent leak.

"We believe fans want to support their favorite artists by purchasing the real album and not a leaked version," Stuart Berman, vice-chairman of Interscope Geffen, said in a press release. "At the same time, we realize speed is of the essence when fans are so passionate about wanting to hear new songs from such an enormously popular artist like Eminem."

Em also confirmed that his album would be pulled up, tweeting "It's true. RECOVERY goes on-sale Monday, 6/21 now."

Em's 'Recovery' was originally intended for a June 22 release. The album, boasting an unlikely cast of features, including Rihanna and Pink, and production by Jim Jonsin, leaked two weeks early.
