50 Cent reschedules European tour

Hip-hop star 50 Cent is continuing with his own independent European tour following Eminem's decision to axe their Anger Management three dates earlier this week.

The Stan singer - real name Marshall Mathers III - was due to play ten concerts alongside 50 Cent and D-12 next month in various European locations (including Slane Castle), but was forced to cancel citing "exhaustion complicated by other medical issues".

50 Cent's replacement tour will have different dates and venues, and a new itinerary is expected to be announced next week.

Spokesperson Yvette Gayle says: "50 is eager to see his fans and looks forward to giving them an exciting performanae."
