US rapper Eminem will make his live return in London’s Hyde Park this summer, according to reports in the Sun.

The rapper is expected to be one of the biggest acts at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations on June 27th.

Razorlight, Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox and Queen are also on the bill for the outdoor concert.

The newspaper says that organisers are “amazed to have Eminem on board” for the event.

The event will be the rapper’s first live appearance since he announced his retirement from hip-hop in 2005.
