Eminem has been urged to sing The Proclaimers hit 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)' when he headlines T In The Park in Scotland this weekend.

The song topped a poll of tracks fans would most like the rapper to cover at the festival, which gets under way tomorrow (July 9).

Travis' 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me' was second, while 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' by Rod Stewart came in third.

The Top-5 was completed by the Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams' and Wet Wet Wet's 'Love Is All Around' at number four and five respectively.

Edward Parkinson, UK Country Director of Viagogo, said: “Eminem performing at T in the Park is a massive coup for the festival although he has some huge hip hop shoes to follow in, after Jay Z performed the Oasis hit 'Wonderwall' at Glastonbury in 2008."

Eminem is set to top the bill at the festival alongside Muse and Kasabian.
