8 August, 2013: Eminem headlines this year's Reading & Leeds festivals, and ahead of that, took to the stage in New York in a performance for G-Shockwave Watches. Check out photos here.

The star is back on top form after a few years out of the spotlight, but recently revealed that his addiction to drugs nearly led to his death.

He made the admission in new documentary, How To Make Money Selling Drugs.

The documentary ,directed by Matthew Cook, shows Eminem talking about his four year battle with painkiller and sedative abuse which led to a near-fatal overdose in 2005.

He shed light on the effects the drugs had on his body, saying: "My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were going to have to put me on dialysis. They didn't think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death. Within a month (after leaving hospital), I had relapsed and shot right back up to the same amount of pills that I was taking. I remember just walking around my house thinking every single day, I'm gonna f**king die.
