Nick Cannon has announced that he is giving up hosting duties of Rollin' with Nick Cannon, his radio show on Manhattan's 92.3 NOW, after doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs. Cannon will continue to host a syndicated radio show, Cannon's Countdown, and host NBC's America's Got Talent.

"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," Cannon said in a statement.

And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
