Eminem has paid homage to his home town of Detroit in the video to his new single, 'Beautiful'.

The video, which was due to be released tomorrow but has already leaked online, was shot at different locations around the motor city.

Landmark locations in the video include Michigan Central Train Station and Tiger Stadium.

Eminem told Rapradar that the video would mark one of the last times people from outsdie Detroit would see the locations.

"I wrote 'Beautiful' when I was really down, during a difficult time struggling with my addiction,” he said.

“It's a reminder to keep your head up, and to see who you really are despite what you may be going through.

“Now that I've gotten through the toughest part, I see how the song relates to Detroit, and it feels even more powerful to me."

Detroit has been one of the US cities worst affected by the global economic recession.

The struggling car companies, Ford and General Motors, are both based in the city.
