Radio presenter Zane Lowe has announced that the first interview for Apple's new Beats 1 online radio station will be with rapper Eminem. 

Lowe posted a photo on Instagram showing his interview with the rapper:

We speculated in February that Lowe could bring his series of probing celebrity interviews to Apple's streaming service.  He is well known in England for his high-profile interviews on BBC Radio 1.  Lowe has interviewed stars including Eminem, Kanye West, Chris Martin, and Jay Z and has played albums in full.  It looks as if Apple is going to hope that major stars such as Eminem, 42, will sit down for interviews with Lowe and bring their fans to Apple Music.
