Nick Cannon, the host of ‘The Masked Singer,’ announced on Tuesday that his young 5-month-old son has now passed away after a brief battle with brain cancer.
As The New York Post reports:
Nick Cannon’s son Zen has died from brain cancer. He was 5 months old.
The “Masked Singer” host announced the devastating news on his eponymous talk show Tuesday morning, breaking down in tears as he detailed his son’s private health battle with hydrocephalus and a tumor.
“I always noticed he had a cough … and so I wanted to check it out,” Cannon, 41, explained. “He always had this real interesting breathing, and then by the time he was 2 months old, I noticed … he had a nice-sized head — I call it a Cannon head.
“We didn’t think anything about it … but I really wanted to take him to the doctor for the breathing and to get his sinuses checked out. We thought it would be a routine process.”
The child’s health reportedly began to take a turn for the worst around Thanksgiving.
