“It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad.”
With his latest album, Revival, about to be released soon, Eminem surprised Saturday Night Live audiences during his recent musical guest gig.
Instead of performing two separate songs, as is the norm for musical guests, he appeared only once and played a medley of three songs, including two of his biggest hits.
Accompanied by an orchestra, the rapper kicked off the nine-minute performance with “Walk on Water,” his new track which was recorded with Beyoncé.
After that segment finished, the duo instantly shifted chords and performed “Love the Way You Lie,” and “Stan” Eminem’s famous duets with Rihanna and Dido.
Kudos to Skylar Grey because she did an excellent cover of Beyoncé, Rihanna and Dido’s vocals.
Watch the moving performance above.
It’s safe to say that Eminem fans are absolutely pumped to see Slim Shady back.

Eminem goes from “Walk on Water” into “Stan” then “Love the Way You Lie”. Let's hope we will still get something new and that's not all #Eminem #Revival
