Once he recovers from his suicide attempt, Artie Lange is welcome back to work, Sirius XM says. The troubled Howard Stern sidekick has been on leave of absence for a month, and there was speculation on the Internet that Sirius XM execs planned to let Lange go. But Tim Sabean, senior VP of the Howard Stern channels, denied it during a “Howard 100 News” report. “Artie is a very much a part of these channels, and we look forward to Artie’s fast recovery and we wish him all the best,” he said.
