Nick Cannon Hospitalized for 'Mild Kidney Failure'

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s holiday vacation was cut short after Nick suffered a “mild kidney failure.”

The showbiz mogul, 31, was hospitalized while vacationing in Aspen, Colorado, with his wife and twins. Mariah shared the news with her fans on Twitter and via her website.

“Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman,” tweeted the pop diva along with a photo of her lying on his bed at the hospital.

She expressed that Nick was in a lot of pain, and asked her fans for their prayers while he recovers. Read her letter to the Lambs below.

This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We’re doing OK but we’re “straaaaaanded in Aspen”. #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.
