No need to ask—Eminem had the audience’s full attention at Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central.
the June 6 event, which celebrated the reopening of Michigan Central Station following a refurbishment, the rapper performed a surprise set, which included the live debut of his new single “Houdini” and a duet of his 2003 song “Sing for the Moment” with Jelly Roll stepping in to sing the parts sampling Aerosmith‘s “Dream On.”
Also during his set, which was backed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Eminem reunited with fellow Detroit rapper Trick Trick to perform their 2005 single “Welcome 2 Detroit.” He closed the show with then performed his 2010 song “Not Afraid,” which ended with fireworks from the stage.
“Detroit, we’re out,” the Grammy winner said before exiting the stage. “We love you.”
While Eminem had not been listed on the show’s line-up ahead of time, he was heavily involved in the project as he co-executive produced the event with his manager Paul Rosenberg. The “Lose Yourself” rapper’s four-track mini-set marked his longest performance since he took the stage at his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2022.
