Eminem made history at the Formula 1 US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, last night, shocking fans with a powerful throwback moment — he brought back his legendary Jason mask on stage for the first time in 24 years.
A Shocking Comeback That Sent Fans Wild
The moment took everyone by surprise. While the Jason mask and chainsaw made an appearance earlier this year in Eminem’s “Tobey” music video, seeing him actually wear the mask live on stage felt like a true resurrection of Slim Shady’s darker side.
The Ultimate Entrance: Fire, Coffin, and “Lucifer”
Eminem kicked off his set with “Lucifer” from his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) — and the entrance was nothing short of theatrical.
Rising from a coffin surrounded by flames, Em emerged in full Slim Shady mode, wearing the same Jason mask he famously wore during performances in the late ’90s. The eerie, high-energy opening immediately sent the crowd into a frenzy.
A Nod to His Slim Shady Roots
The Jason mask isn’t just a costume — it’s a symbol of Eminem’s raw, edgy alter ego that helped launch his legendary career. Last night’s performance was a powerful reminder that Slim Shady is still very much alive in 2024, and fans couldn’t get enough of the nostalgia.
A Perfect Mix of Old-School and New Hits
The haunting intro set the tone for an unforgettable night, blending classic Slim Shady vibes with tracks from his latest project. Fans were treated to a show that celebrated Eminem’s evolution, while still embracing the bold persona that made him a cultural icon.
