Eminem has entered rehab for dependency on sleep medication, his publicist confirmed Thursday.

A statement released by his label, Interscope Records, read, “Marshall Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem, is in the hospital under doctors’ care. He’s being treated for dependency on sleep medication.”

He admitted himself to the hospital Monday night, just hours after informing associates that the European tour was cancelled, reports MTV.

No information about where he is located or how long he will be treated has been released.

The news comes just two days after the 32-year-old rapper cancelled his 10-city European tour, stating on his web site that he was being treated for “exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues.”

The Anger Management Tour was to kick off September 1 in Hamburg, Germany, and was scheduled until September 17 in Dublin, Ireland. These dated will not be rescheduled.
