Eminem's surprise performance of ‘Lose Yourself’ and 'Stan' during Ed Sheeran’s Detroit concert 4K

Ford Field, Detroit - July 15th, 2023
(original recording)

Growing up in England, Ed Sheeran was intrigued by Detroit, galvanized in particular by one of the city’s musical sons: Eminem.
That’s how Sheeran set the stage for fans Saturday night at Ford Field as he and his band embarked on a rendition of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”
They had just rehearsed the song that day, so “let’s see how it goes,” he said, playing down expectations.
A capacity crowd delighted by the unexpected hometown homage soon erupted with a roar of hysteria.
A hooded figure was emerging from beneath the stage, and the reality quickly became clear: here was Eminem, making his first Detroit concert appearance in years, joining the festivities to perform his signature hit.
The two weren’t done there — after all, you can’t be onstage with Eminem in Detroit and do just one song, Sheeran said.
And so began “Stan,” Eminem’s 2000 hit, with Sheeran providing the Dido singing and Eminem delivering his rapped verses as he paced the stage.
“I appreciate you, Detroit,” Eminem said as he and Sheeran soaked in the adulation after their two-song surprise. “I love you!”
The two superstar artists go back several years now, having collaborated on songs such as “River” (2017), “Remember the Name” (2019) and “Those Kinda Nights” (2020), all of them global hits.
But Sheeran’s choice to spotlight a pair of Eminem homegrown classics on a Detroit stage was a gesture of honor for the rapper he had long admired. (Detroit Free Press)

Bro, I can barely hear Eminem! The fans were pure love!

[Baggebaggebilliyan]

Gotta appreciate Ed here… came all the way to sing in Em’s concert. 😉✌️

[maryelaine-blinstrubchambe]

Fabulous! The poetry that came out of Detroit, and England. Pure joy from the fans of both incredible men.

[debhoward]

Fricken amazing! We could not even hear them from all the screams! Total goosebumps when he came out and my daughter nearly passed out!

[clemoun]

So thankfull to the guy who paid a full priced ticket to be miles away from the scene and recorded this for me for free

[christinawatkinsyoutube]

I cannot fathom the size of these concerts. When I think back to Ed's humble beginnings, and see this, it makes me so happy

[ggroombr]

What a life Eminem’s had. Phenomenal talent and crazy party life style, but managed to get sober and survive it and is still one of the biggest names in hip hop.

[phnompenhpeach]

Brought tears to my eyes... Simply fantastic! Em is so so loyal to his Detroit. Thanks for sharing... ❤

[gageflores]

Crazy how big Eminem still is with the new generation

[Clvrr]

Can you imagine going to a concert with someone who loves Ed but you don't care too much you're just there for them and then Eminem comes out of nowhere

[jeffmassie]

As soon as Ed started that iconic intro everyone must have been like, “wait, do you think…no…maybe…couldn’t

[ronlippitt]

Listen to the buzz of the crowd in the final seconds of this video. That's what it actually sounded like. It was still buzzing like that for another 15 minutes afterward. Never heard/seen anything like that before at any concert I've been to.

[NaDaswf]

It's like always when Em enters and performes in another artists concert - he instantly owns it and makes it his concert.

[lindataggart]

First of all can I acknowledge that crowd for Ed Sheeren....Amazing!!

[barbarajackson]

Wow amazing. To be in that audience would have taken my breath away!!!! I am now 70. My children listened to my music when they were young and…..I listened to their music. My eldest introduced me to ‘Em, my daughter to her love of music and youngest to his!!! ❤

[SteampunkTV]

Two of the realist artists alive singing together without autotune, how it should be! What a phenomenal performance.

[hmarie]

Was there. It was amazing. Thought we blew the roof off the venue.

[AppNasty]

All those people with their phones….imagine being physically AT the concert but watching the whole thing through your phone…..while there….man….put the phone down. This moment is yours.

The amount of respect ed gave em when the second verse of Stan started. It’s EDS concert and he walked completely to the other side of the stage to let em have the entire stage, im a huge Eminem fan and I loved that from ed, he is amazing also
