Eminem performed in Abu Dhabi on December 7, 2024, five days after his mother, Debbie Nelson, died on December 2. During “Without Me,” he reportedly left out a pointed lyric about her and the audience sang it instead.
When did Eminem perform after Debbie Nelson’s death?
Nelson died on December 2, 2024, and Eminem took the stage in Abu Dhabi on December 7. The National reported that Nelson’s death had occurred two days before its December 4 article; Hot 97 later gave the December 2 date and reported that she died in St. Joseph, Missouri, aged 69, with lung cancer as the cause.

What happened during “Without Me”?
Hot 97 reported that Eminem omitted a pointed line about Nelson while performing “Without Me,” and the crowd sang the lyric. Hot 97 described the audience as 40,000 strong; that is the outlet’s characterization, not a separately verified attendance count. “Without Me” is from Eminem’s album The Eminem Show.
Where did Eminem perform next?

What the moment does—and does not—show
The reported lyric omission is a detail from one performance, not evidence of reconciliation, closure, or a particular private feeling. The National describes the relationship as tumultuous and notes that Eminem later expressed remorse for some earlier lyrics in “Headlights,” released in 2013. That context does not establish why he handled the line as he did in Abu Dhabi.
