Nick Cannon is in hospital battling pneumonia.

The ex-partner of Mariah Carey, 42, who is expecting his 12th child, was rushed to A&E just hours after performing to a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Nick shared a picture from his hospital bed looking rundown as he told fans he's "not superman".

The star, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2012, captioned the snap in which he's wearing a mask, beanie and hooked up to a machine: "Okay, so I guess I’m not Superman… I promised myself I would never be back at this place again…

"But this is a great lesson to take care of YOU or YOU won’t be able to take care of everyone else. Don’t trip though, I don’t need any well wishes or prayers , just some solid rest and I will be back on the journey to becoming stronger than ever…
