Singer Ed Sheeran said that rapping along to Eminem’s 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP “cured” his stutter.

Sheeran, who has since teamed up and performed with the rap icon, has shared that he has the Lose Yourself hit-maker, to thank for helping to fix his speech impediment.

“(My uncle) just said to my dad, ‘This guy is the next Bob Dylan. You gotta let him listen.’ And by learning that record — and rapping it back to back — it cured my stutter,” he recalled when appearing on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM.

Ed continued, “I think it’s different with Eminem because he is quite reclusive, doesn’t see or meet that many people. I’ve known him now (for)

six years and we’ve done three songs together, I’ve played with him twice onstage. He’s another person I really relate to, as he lives in his hometown still and has his eco-system around him.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
