Eminem and Jimmy Kimmel are paying for plane tickets to fly 200 laid-off auto workers from Detroit to Los Angeles to see Eminem appear on Kimmel’s late-night talk show.
The unemployed auto-workers are expected to attend Friday’s taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and then will be invited along with a guest to a secret Eminem concert in the metro Detroit area next week, the Detroit Free Press stated.
“In all the media coverage Detroit is getting, everyone forgets about the people that have lost their jobs without getting big cash payouts after dedicating themselves to the auto industry,” Eminem told the Free Press. “Jimmy Kimmel and I got to talking, and we wanted to remind everyone that there are real people affected by what’s going on in Detroit, and try to show some of them a good time while we’re at it.”
“Relapse,” Eminem’s first studio album for more than four years, is set to drop next Tuesday.
