T In The Park festival organisers have denied reports that Eminem has pulled out of this weekend's festival.

The rapper is due to headline the main stage on Saturday (July 10), but a spate of internet reports this week claimed he had cancelled his appearance.

However, organiser Geoff Ellis told Daily Record: “Everything is fine. Eminem is definitely going ahead and highlights from his show will be seen in the TV coverage.

“With some of the American artists, things take a little longer to sort out because of the time difference.

"Having Eminem playing his exclusive festival date is perfect for us. T in the Park will be the best yet."

Eminem is also due to appear at the Oxegen festival in Ireland this weekend.

T In The Park, which begins today (July 9), will also feature headline performances from Kasabian and Muse.
