Instagram Confirms the Decision
The comic spoke to the media last year about his ongoing battle with health problems, both physical and mental. He said that while he had been suffering for more than 1 year, he kept working and did not let this affect him at all. An overwhelming amount of traveling, almost 10 years nonstop and working 2 or 3 shows every day, with very little sleep and having to fly out early every day, as well as not having regular meals, was also having a dramatic impact on his health.
