He had tonsil cancer and was being treated for it back around 2009-2010. That may have been why in 2010-2011 that he really wasn't doing too many interviews as the Ebonite ball rep on tv (or if he was, being super short with everyone) since it seems to have messed his voice up making it a little raspy. But at least as of late, he has been healthy.
