Nick Cannon Hospitalized For Kidney Failure

Nick Cannon made headlines on Wednesday when his wife, Mariah Carey, confirmed that he had been hospitalized for kidney failure. 31-year-old Nick is spending the first week of the new year in the hospital, with his wife by his side.

Carey tweeted that Cannon is suffering from "mild kidney failure." His representative confirmed Cannon's hospitalization. He is in Aspen, Colorado, where he and Carey were vacationing.



Carey is now updating fans on his condition, which seems to be improving. "As always, he's in good spirits considering the situation," she told People.com. "We are hopeful that he'll be 100 percent as soon as possible." While little is known about what caused Cannon to go into mild kidney failure, Carey added "the situation is not easy" and that Cannon is stable but "in a lot of pain."

"We really appreciate everybody's love and support," she continued.

Cannon had remained rather quiet since the news broke of his hospitalization, but did share on Twitter that he was being moved from an Aspen, Colorado, hospital to Los Angeles. "Currently being (transferred) to a hospital in LA. Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern," he wrote. "You know me ... I will be a'ight."
