Eminem New Album 2013: NO Live Stream for Slim Shady 'New Music' Performance at Exclusive G-Shock NYC Show on August 7, Twitter/Facebook Fans Dismayed [UPDATE]

Eminem fans won't be happy about this... turns out that Slim Shady's highly-anticipated performance at G-Shock's exclusive "Shock the World" party in NYC will NOT be live-streamed online. Parts of the show will broadcast LIVE on the web at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday (August 7), but not the segment where Eminem's supposedly set to debut "new music." What a tease!

UPDATE: Eminem G-Shock Performance Confirmed, WILL NOT Feature Online Live Stream, 50 Lucky Fans Win Twitter Sweepstakes to See Slim Shady Rap 'New Music' in NYC

An unofficial press release and Facebook update (recently posted by Mstars) initially prompted such exciting buzz:

The G-Shock event will be held at a top-secret NYC location, but fans can watch the performances live via the G-Shock website, according to Facebook:

G-Shock US:

"Get ready for the G-Shock 30th Anniversary 'Shock The World 2013' event - streaming LIVE on August 7th, 2013 at 8PM on G-Shock! ‪#‎stw2013‬."

But if fans only planned on tuning-in to catch some awesome rap beats from Eminem's upcoming album, they'll be disappointed. Here's the Facebook update:

G-Shock US:

Get ready for the G-Shock 30th Anniversary 'Shock The World 2013' event - streaming LIVE tomorrow - August 7th, 2013 at 8PM EST on G-Shock! ‪#‎stw2013‬

DISCLAIMER: The Eminem performance will NOT be streamed.

Several fans were not amused:

Willy Thurl Butler: "Wow i was going to watch butttt."

Jessi Spaff: "Not going to stream his performance? Wow. And there's been so much hype. Everyone was looking forward to it for Eminem."

Shai Shai: "No Eminem performance streaming live? Damn it, I've lost my will to live..."

Aditya Shah: "haha if you ain't streamin his part, then i don't give a f#ck about the event and you."

Erdene Uuganbayar: "u seriously like f#cked up the whole thing... now no one will watch it... u got the likes and shares but now u saying no Em...."

Sorry for getting readers so pumped-up over nothing. For those who still DO wish to watch the live "Shock the World" event stream, go here.

Meanwhile, details surrounding Shady's new 2013 album still remain very hazy... he's set to embark on a mini tour of Europe this August following the "secret" NYC gig.
