Where is Brian Whitman on The Morning Answer KRLA?

Jennifer Horn said he would be gone for the entire month of May 2020. Seems kinda sudden.
From LA Radio .com

Brian Whitman, in making the announcement that he was taking a leave of absence from his KRLA (870/The Answer) morning show with Jennifer Horn, wrote on Facebook: “I’m not quitting, I’ve not been fired and ... I haven’t tested positive for Covid-19. I wanted you to get this information from me because you are an incredibly important part of my life. I know the folks I work for and those I work with won’t be able to share this personal ‘stuff’ about me. I don’t want you to wonder and please do not worry. I will be fine. I’m taking time away because my body and my mind are telling me it’s necessary. On the air, I’ve discussed anxiety I’ve been dealing with and sleeplessness and stress. The resulting mental fatigue is overwhelming and it creates physical fatigue. Often, I’m in physical pain. At 47, I’m prepared for some of this. The consistency of all of the above means I need to feel better.”

Makes sense - recently on air he sounded too amped up. I thought he might be in rehab.
 
I hope he's ok - of course. I do want to know what's going on - Jen said he took the month off and now he's still not there. Salem is really good to him.
 
Today is June 8th and Whitman is still not back on the air. And Jen today didn't even say today Brian Whitman is out she just said with me today is such and such. Wonder when he will be returning?
 
Brian and I are Facebook friends and while we don't agree on some stuff, he seems like a generally decent, honest upfront guy. Instead of speculating here, facebook or email him.. I bet you anything hed answer you.
