DETROIT — He's already a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner and one of the best-selling artists of all-time, but Eminem now has another notch to add to his belt: the Detroit rapper is headed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The megastar, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, leads the list of 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, alongside a group that includes Duran Duran, Dolly Parton, Pat Benatar, Eurythmics, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon, Rock Hall organizers announced Wednesday. The class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony set to take place in Los Angeles on Nov. 5.
"It's a happy moment," says Denaun Porter, Eminem's longtime producer, on-stage right hand man and friend for almost 30 years, who first met Eminem when he came to his house on Rowe Street, off Eight Mile, looking for an instrumental track in 1995. "It's a win for the home team."
