Cannon revealed his battle with lupus in 2012. Since then, he has detailed his journey via his social media pages.
In 2022, Cannon marked ten years since his lupus diagnosis.
He revealed that he had to “change everything about the way I live my life” due to the diagnosis.
“Ten years ago, I experienced a sudden and mysterious illness that almost took my life; at the time i had no idea it was lupus,” he said.
“I always have to have a camera on … so I would literally open up my phone, grab my camera and I would talk to the camera, and I documented the entire health journey.
“I have been diagnosed with lupus, and after a decade of close calls, blood transfusions, chemotherapy and hospitalizations, I continue to push through. Throughout this journey, I had to change everything about the way I live my life, and it wasn’t easy.”
