artie langeFans of the Howard Stern Show who were hoping to catch the return of Artie Lange on Monday were greeted with the news that he had called out sick yet again.

Artie apparently sent another mysterious text message announcing that he was not coming in to work.

Said Howard Stern, “I love Artie, but boy he’s got a lot of issues. I don’t know what’s going on…and I kind of don’t want to know what’s going on.”

While Stern didn’t read the message, he teased listeners by passing the message to Robin Quivers who quipped “I thought he was being given something to prevent that.”

Hmm. Where is Artie Lange?  Sick?  Drugs?  Alcohol?

When listeners called in to ask Howard to read Artie Lange’s text message, Stern replied that it would be “Artie’s story to tell.”
