Eminem will perform live again this year, his manager has confirmed.

The rapper, whose last album 'Recovery' was released in 2010, is due to appear at the Grammy Awards this weekend, but has no further confirmed performances.

But his manager Paul Rosenberg told Billboard: "You'll be able to see (Eminem) a few places this year."

He also revealed that the rapper was planning to concentrate on his label Shady Records following the Grammys, where he is nominated for 10 awards.

Rosenberg also said Eminem was “really thrilled” by the reaction to his appearance in a car advert first broadcast during the Super Bowl last weekend.

The advert saw Eminem pay tribute to his home city of Detroit and was aimed at reaffirming the Motor City's industrial reputation following the recession.
