FROM DAILY MAIL: Howard Stern will reportedly not be back on his SiriusXM show this Tuesday, as he previously promised, following summer break.
The 71-year-old shock jock announced he would not return in an email penned to his 95 employees on Labor Day evening, which came ‘out of the blue’ but was carefully worded in order to not panic staffers.
A source told the Daily Mail that Howard’s decision was a result of ‘frustrations over the new contract’ he’s been negotiating with the satellite/online radio company.
Stern’s mammoth $500M, five-year contract with SiriusXM expires at the end of this year, which would end his 20-year run since he moved to the channel in 2006.
According to reports, Stern has been tending to his beloved mother, Ray Schiffman Stern, 97. She will be 98 on October 22.
