"Many of you have questions about my absence from the show," he wrote on his social media accounts. "The bottom line is, while the show and all the platforms connected are a huge responsibility and very important to me, however my family desperately needs me right now and they will always take priority. Please pray."
On Tuesday morning, Burgess announced his return in a video published on X. He expressed his excitement to be back and gratitude for prayers and kind words in his absence.
"[I]have been in the pit. I have been battling. It is good to be back," the former "Rick & Bubba" co-host said. "Things are good, and I am excited. I have missed being here with the guys. I want to thank Speedy, Greg, Adler — man, what an outstanding job they have done in my absence. I have enjoyed the few moments I have gotten to listen to them, and I know you've enjoyed it, too."
"It's good to be back," he emphasized.
