"America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon is in hospital dealing with a serious kidney ailment. His wife, Mariah Carey, is by his side.

Carey shared with fans via Twitter that Cannon is suffering from “mild kidney failure.” His publicist confirmed Cannon’s in an Aspen, CO. hospital where he and Carey were vacationing.

Mariah tweeted:

Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure.

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.

Carey then posted a picture on her website of a miserable-looking Cannon in a hospital bed as she lay beside him.

Cannon, 31, today tweeted he’s “currently being transferred to a hospital in L.A.”
