Artie Lange has canceled his stand-up gigs to spend time in outpatient rehab for drugs and alcohol, but will return to Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show when it returns from hiatus.

You may recall Artie Lange’s blow-up on Howard Stern in April, where he quit the show.

Former MADtv cast member and Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange quit the Howard Stern show this morning after a heated discussion. Take a listen as everyone gets worked up (even Robin!) and Artie Lange resigns in a huff over an incident with his assistant.

Did Artie Lange really quit Howard Stern or will he be back? He did tell Howard, “I’m not a good person … I gotta leave … I love you.”

UPDATE: Well, it was a good ride while it lasted, but the powers-that-be have removed the audio clip from the Red Lasso site. Hopefully you had a chance to take a listen and we’ll know more soon about Artie Lange’s resignation from Howard Stern’s show.
