Jones to collaborate with Eminem

London: Sir Tom Jones has expressed his desire to work with rapper Eminem. The Welsh crooner’s new record ‘Praise & Blame’ is already sitting in the top spot in the UK album charts mid-weeks, and is set to prevent the Detroit rapper’s Recovery from nabbing a fifth week at the top.

"I couldn’t be more proud of this album and I’m really blown away by the response from everyone - it’s great to be top of the charts with Eminem, maybe next time we could be top together," the Mirror quoted him as saying in a statement. If the 70-year-old succeeds, he would steal the crown from Bob Dylan, whose last album went to No 1 in the UK in 2009, at the age of 67. In Praise & Blame, his biggest success since 1999``s Reload, Sir Tom - who is entering his sixth decade in music - covers classics by artists like Bob Dylan and John Lee Hooker. ANI
