Danny Bonaduce Is Taking a Medical Leave from His Radio Show to Focus on His Health
Considering how transparent Bonaduce has been with his life, political opinions, and battles with substance abuse over the decades, when he gets an update on his condition, we’re all likely to know. With that said, the fact that he is taking a medical leave from his radio program points to it being something concerning for the television veteran.
While both the ailment and severity of it are mysteries to followers and Danny Bonaduce himself, he was able to joke a bit about using a cane as followed up the above tweet with the following:
“Charlie Chaplin, Willy Wonka, Danny Bonaduce. I’ve joined the club of cool guys with canes.”
Bonaduce, the son of a producer and writer on shows such as The Dick Van Dyke Show, would get his start in entertainment in the late 1960s. He appeared on popular shows of the period such as Mayberry R.F.D and Bewitched before landing his best-known role as Danny Partridge on The Partridge Family in 1970.
A popular character on the show for its four-year run, over the years many who have worked with Danny Bonaduce on different programs have noted his poor attitude behind the scenes.
Despite his previous attitude problems, Bonaduce always had television work except for a period in the late 1980s and early 1990s when his drug abuse issues resulted in a couple of arrests. These problems not only slowed his TV work but also work in radio—although he was usually able to find a position with another station.

He was also a regular cast member on the sole season of Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
