Shady Performs for Millions

Eminem hasn’t played in the UK for several years, so when V Fest 2011 rolled around he decided that a festival would be more worth his time than a stadium show. Walking away with £2 million pounds after a performance a day over the weekend, Slim Shady is back. Not bad for two days work.

The event was held in Staffordshire and Essex. Eminem was paid £1 million a day on a 25 track set, which means he charged £40 000 for one song.

In each of his 90 minute performances he gave the crowd a trip down Shady lane, with some of his well known hits including ‘Cleanin' Out My Closet’, ‘Stan’, ‘My Name Is’ and ‘The Real Slim Shady’. Rihanna also appeared, receiving £500 000 for each of her turns on the stage, including their collaboration on last year's hit ‘Love The Way You Lie’.


His rendition of 'Stan', released over a decade ago, was a standout performance, inciting mass chanting and approval from the crowd. Follow the link for for a sampling of Em's V Fest performance.
