Eminem’s forthcoming Irish date at Tennent’s Live in Bangor, Co Down has run into trouble after a resident made a complaint to the local council.

According to the Belfast Telegraph,the objection is to the Detroit rapper's explicit lyrics, which will disrupt a Missionary Convention taking place in a nearby church. A decision on the open-air August 24th gig will be made by North Down County Council in the coming weeks.
