Why Elton John Faced Backlash to Stand by Eminem at the Grammys

But John said that, after receiving the invitation from Eminem, he had no qualms about agreeing to appear. “I’m a big fan of his music, and I said I would be delighted to,” he told the L.A. Times. “I know I’m going to get a lot of flak from various people who are going to picket the show [but] I’d rather tear down walls between people than build them up.” Asked if he believed the then-28-year-old rapper really was “hateful,” he replied: “If I thought for one minute that he was, I wouldn’t do it.”

Sensing the scale of interest, Ken Ehrlich, producer of the 2001 Grammys show, decided to leave the duet until the end. “Both of them were very careful about what we could do because they didn't want it to feel too exploitative, which I don't think it did,” he said later. The performance went ahead, with John replacing the parts of “Stan” sampled from pop singer Dido’s track “Thank You.”
