Eminem in depression since death of Proof

Interscope's head of publicity Dennis Denehy has told the New York Daily News that Eminem has not recovered from the death of his close friend and mentor, late D12 member Proof. Denehy said: "Obviously, he's grieving. He is depressed as anyone would be if they lost someone that close. He had announced he was taking time off before this happened. It's his downtime." He added that the rap superstar had not taken any anti-depressants to help him through this period, however.
