Eminem is recovering from a bout with pneumonia that sent him to the hospital.

The rapper's publicist, Dennis Dennehy, says Eminem has since been released and is doing well recovering at home.

Eminem's illness first was reported by celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

The 35-year-old Detroit-area native rose to stardom thanks to a number of best-selling CDs and a starring role in the hit 2002 film "8 Mile."

He has won several Grammys, including best rap album for "The Slim Shady LP," "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show," as well as an Oscar for the song "Lose Yourself" from "8 Mile."
