Twenty years ago today rap star Eminem secured his spot in the music hall of fame. On May 23, 2000, he released his third studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP, and it became the fastest ever selling studio album.
As well as spawning the hit singles The Real Slim Shady and Stan, it also won him a Grammy and went on to sell 21million copies.
But as his professional life reached superstar status, things were not quite so rosy at home. Eminem, AKA Marshall Mathers, had finally married his childhood sweetheart, Kim, the year before his most critically acclaimed album was released.
However, the following year the couple were divorced - only to briefly reconcile and re-marry in 2005 but were soon separated again.
