The MTV EMAs (Europe Music Awards) kicked off on Sunday (November 12) at London’s Wembley Arena, where Eminem opened up the ceremony. After starting the song in a pub, Slim Shady took the stage to perform his new single, “Walk On Water,” which was released on Friday (November 10) after weeks of anticipation.
Noticeably absent was Beyoncé, who sings the hook on the Revival track. In her place, the song’s co-producer, Skylar Grey, sat at the piano and belted out the hook in head-to-toe white while the Detroit rap god ferociously delivered his highly personal, introspective bars.
Watch the performance via Twitter below until an official version of the show surfaces.

As Eminem fans continue to wait on an official release date for his upcoming ninth studio album, an insider with knowledge of the Detroit rap titan has reportedly blown the lid off plans for the project’s rollout.
According to an article published by The Sun, Slim Shady is gearing up for a “massive performance” at the MTV EMAs (Europe Music Awards) on Sunday (November 12) at the 12,500 capacity SSE Wembley Arena in London.
“This is Eminem fully relaunching his career after a few years out and gathering his thoughts,” the unidentified source told The Sun. “It will be a massive performance.”
The article also reported that Revival, as the album is expected to be called, will be released on November 17.
There are many theories about Slim Shady’s album release date, including three signs that point to November 17. Em’s musical guest spot on Saturday Night Live is November 18 and a HITS Daily Double report from early October claimed there’s “very loud chatter” indicating November 17 is the magical day.
In the meantime, Em has recently launched a limited edition batch of embroidered “Stan” merch and who can forget his powerful BET Hip Hop Awards freestyle from last month?

I wonder if we will hear any real music or more “bash Trump” because im a puppet bullshit
the latter. Hillary is his ghostwriter.
He’s a puppet because he’s angry about Trump being racist, sexist and trying to destroy our country? Seems to me more like he actually gives a damn about people and is trying to use his fame to speak out against injustice.
Trump is not racist or sexist, and are you suggesting that his intentions are for the country to be destroyed or just that that would be the unintended result of his policies? Doesn’t matter, the moment you baselessly accuse him of racism or sexism you lose all credibility. Stop listening to the left wing propaganda, he is trying to improve the lives of all American citizens lives, it is the corporate establishment that is trying to stop him because he is trying to undermine their evil agenda. He is not racist or sexist, you are just an idiot like Eminem.
I am suggesting your a Moron and Trump is a vile self serving orange piece of shit.
Why is it that the left is so fixated on race? Same people that will talk shit about trump being orangish, will cal him racist in the next sentence lol. Hypocrisy. I for one enjoy watching Hollywood and others falls.
Where is he exactly racist??
Marshall the biggest racist he hates white ppl so much
Hes a puppet because if he really gave a shit he would have spoke out years ago and not just when Bush was president but when Obama was president also, when there was rioting in the streets of many citys and towns, when Chicago became a war zone. take your pick of many issues he could have spoke out about
Yes I am sure all the recent Trump bashing is because eminem wants to save America from the evil white man… Not just because he has an album coming out right? That “freestyle” which sounds like it was written by an 11 year old who watches too much CNN, Hillary Clinton and Keith Oldberman is a sad reminder of how stupid these social justice warriors really are.
Nah, Trump deserves to all that shit. More disses aimed at Trump = good music with actual, meaningful content.
So it is all but confirmed that he’s releasing an album, but he’s not doing any promo the way Jay did? I hope the album is terrible, since I’m not allowed to be a fan anymore.
FAWK DONALD TRUMP AND REDNECK TRASH
Good Luck Em,
holdin down 4 you in Germany!
it’s crazy how long Em has been in the game, and considered a legend but man i gotta admit he has a lot to prove on this album, musically and lyrically. MMLP2 was my least favorite album of his next to Encore… he really needs this album to be amazing, production wise and content wise. i hope he surprises everyone ???
It will be a long boring Trump bash, next
I’m a big fan and he’ll always be a legend however he’s got a lot to prove on this album especially when it took 4 years to make. So it better be perfect lyrics/production. I think this would be his last chance to reclaim the number 1 spot or retire and leave us with the good memories of when he used to release great music.
is this really news? everybody knows that black people never fulfill their obligations…
Ummmm ever heard of recovery. You can’t tell me he had no motivation then
Especially to know white devil you should wrote but it’s ok I wrote it for you!! Eminem ain’t nobody to the black culture he gets treated like the rest if those white gentiles devils
Lol, you love white ppl. Stop lying to yourself..
Number #1 spot in the trash can he will never be better or out due Jay z!! Em never wrote his raps proof did. Ever since proof been dead emeinem been wack as shit
Eminen been fell off??? Jay-z never fail off???? Wtf? Hahah
kill yourself..
MTV only had enough money in the budget for one of them.
I know there’s a lot of people up in arms over this one, but I actually think Em’s verses are good. Yeah, it’s not MMLP, TES, or SSLP by any means and he will definitely never top those albums, but I don’t mind an older, wiser Em expressing his vulnerabilities a bit. What I hated about this song tho? No drums and Beyonce was 100% unnecessary. I felt as if it would’ve been way better if he did the hook or if there was just silence instead. Plus, the sound and chord progression sounds too poppy. Verses are great, but I’m definitely not a fan of the song’s sound. Also, he definitely did NOT deserve that award and even admitted it himself LMAO!
Walk on Water is a weird track. MMLP2 was ok but not great. I’m hoping Revival is back in classic mode. It’s clear the Beyonce feature is a single to sell records but honestly The last Eminem record I though was Classic Was The Eminem Show even though Recovery was inspirational
Hahahahaha pussy ass gay rapper of all time. #attention seeker insulting Donald Trump just to sale his album cuz he knows Donald Trump got a lot of haters , #Eminem is a lame part of the game. #hip-hop ain’t a white culture pussy
Dude, what the fukk is wrong with you. Stop being a troll and start learning for your highschool test next week. You can only flunk four times and this is last chance….
Hmm SMH.. His previous album was Recovery,which means he is recovering from drugs and lean addiction and now his present album is called Revival, who is this pussy reviving? #@Eminem #pussy ass gay rapper Eminem is just blasphemy. #retarded motherfucker #get a life #you you said you walk on water but you ain’t Jesus, who are you to compare yourself wit him? #when you soul your soul to the ? that shouldn’t deceived you to say some bullshit you know nothing about #full time grown fool #hip-hop is sick one of these days

MMLP2 appeased us country white boys up north yee haw
Em told me and half of the country to fuck off so I won’t be listening to this. Had enough of his choppy rage flow in the past 5 years regardless, couldn’t even finish MMLP2.
