Eminem Kills "Relapse 2", Announces "Recovery" For June

Slim Shady confirmed on his Twitter today that there was no Relapse 2, Eminem's former in the works effort. Instead a new album Recovery will be released on June 22nd.

“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year,” Eminem said today in a statement. “But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title.”


Eminem promised the now defunct Relapse 2 last year when his comeback disc Relapse hit stores. Initially scheduled for a Christmas 2009 release, the Holidays came and went with only a re-released Relapse complete with a handful of new tracks.

No single and no track listing has been released.
