Eminem's mother's tell-all book to get US release

Eminem's mother, Debbie Nelson, will release a "tell-all" book about her rapper son, 'My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting The Record Straight On My Life As Eminem's Mother', on November 1 in the US.

Nelson is billing the book, ghost-written by Annette Witheridge and published by Phoenix Books, as her chance to address negative criticism she has received from the press and Eminem's fans.

The book will include previously-unpublished photos of the rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, plus lyrics and poetry he wrote as a child.

In April, Fox News reported that Nelson was sued by Neal Alpert, who claimed that she developed the book while under contract to him.

The book has already been released in the UK and has reportedly sold over 100,000 copies.
