Triple M’s Marty Sheargold has addressed his abrupt absence from his radio show, which comes amid rumours he was kicked out of the AFL grand final.
Now, in a written statement to his listeners, Sheargold announced he’d be taking “extended leave” from his position. He didn’t say when he’d return.
“I just wanted to let people know that I’ll be taking an extended break from work, with the very kind and compassionate permission of my employers, who have been generous in their understanding of my need for a break,” Sheargold said in the statement. “I think it’s important for people like myself who have a public voice to admit that I am exhausted mentally from my range of commitments across TV, radio and live shows, in an attempt to continue to remove some of the roadblocks and stigma around mental health,” he continued.
