5) PUSHED BACK
According to HollyScoop.com, Eminem’s 6th studio album, Relapse, has been pushed back. A source has been quoted as saying ‘Eminem has been through a lot. He is being a perfectionist and is completely obsessive-compulsive about this album. There's a 50-50 chance it will be done by the end of this year - but most likely it'll be the first quarter of next year. There was never a release date set’. Looks like fans will have to wait!!
