Eminem remembers late engineer Steve King
Rap superstar Eminem has paid tribute to Steve King, the Grammy-winning studio engineer who died on Tuesday (03Jun14).
Music industry veteran King passed away from liver disease in a Detroit, Michigan hospital at the age of 56.
He won a Grammy for his work on 2003 album The Eminem Show, and the
Real Slim Shady star has now spoken out to share his memories of
their time in the studio together.
He says, "I'm very sad to hear about Steve King's passing. I had
the honor and pleasure of working with Steve on many projects in my
earlier years and he was a greatly talented engineer, musician and
friend. I will miss Steve's friendly way and sense of humor the
most. My condolences go out to his family and all that knew
Steve."
As well as The Eminem Show, King also worked with the hip-hop star
on his 8 Mile movie soundtrack. Other stars he worked as an
engineer for include Aretha Franklin, Patti Smith, George Clinton,
and 50 Cent.
