He later revealed o: Good Morning America that he has lupus nephritis which had a bad effect on his kidneys. He added,

“They thought it was just a kidney disease, and then they were trying to figure out why my immune system was attacking my kidneys, and that was sort of the root of it all.”

Cannon’s physicians had once told him to reduce his workload as it was affecting his health. Despite taking a break from work, things did not work and according to his doctors, his blood clots were linked to his kidney problems.
