Eminem recalls horrific 2007 drug overdose where he 'almost died'

Eminem recalled his 2007 drug overdose and how music "saved" his life.

Speaking on his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the rapper asked his daughter Hailie Jade Mathers to cover her ears as he narrated his addiction struggles.

"I realize what an honor it is right now to be here up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love," he said.

"Music basically saved my life … I’ll keep this as painless as possible. I’m f–king stuttering and s–t. I’m probably not supposed to actually be here tonight because of a couple of reasons.

"I almost died from an overdose in 2007, which kind of sucked,

"Hailie, plug your ears. Because drugs were f–king delicious. I thought we had a good thing going on, but I had to go and f–k it all up. Goddamn.

"Hold on, I lost my motherf—ing spot. Paul, did I say, I said drugs were delicious, right? And finally, I had to really fight my way through man to try and break through in this music, and I’m so honored and I’m so grateful that I’m even able to be up here doing hip-hip music, man, because I love it so much." he added.
