Kelly Clarkson Postpones Las Vegas Residency Shows Due to Ex-Husband's Illness
Kelly Clarkson has made the difficult decision to postpone the remaining August performances of her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace due to her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's illness. In an Instagram post, Clarkson shared the news with her fans, expressing her need to be fully present for her children during this challenging time. She apologized to ticket holders for the inconvenience and thanked them for their understanding and support.
Clarkson and Blackstock, who were married from 2013 to 2022, have two children together, River and Remington. This is not the first time Clarkson has had to cancel shows recently. In July, she had to postpone two opening nights at Caesars Palace due to vocal strain. Despite these setbacks, Clarkson is scheduled to return to Las Vegas for residency shows starting on November 7, 2025, as per her official website.
While Clarkson did not disclose the specifics of Blackstock's illness, she emphasized the importance of prioritizing her children during this challenging time. Following her divorce in 2020, Clarkson has been vocal about her commitment to putting her children first. She has expressed the difficulties of co-parenting with her ex-husband and the emotional toll it has taken on her.
As Clarkson navigates these personal challenges, she remains grateful for the support of her fans and the understanding of those who have purchased tickets to her shows. The singer's resilience and dedication to her family shine through as she continues to balance her career and personal life with grace and strength.
