Nick Cannon steps down from radio show over health concerns

Washington, Feb 18 (ANI): Nick Cannon has announced that he is quitting his New York City radio show over health issues.

Cannon, 31, revealed on his 'Rollin' with Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW' show earlier this week that he was hospitalized over the weekend for two blood clots found in his lungs.

According to The Washington Post, doctors also discovered that a ventricle in his heart was enlarged.

"Under doctor's orders, I have been asked to put my health first and cut back on some of my professional commitments in order to allow my body to get the rest that it needs to keep up with the demands of my multi-tasking schedule," People Magazine quoted him as saying in a statement.

Cannon, who is married to R and B star Mariah Carey, has had a series of recent health problems. In January, he was hospitalized for kidney failure.

He will, however, continue with his syndicated radio show, 'Cannon's Countdown'. (ANI)
