Kelly Clarkson Cancels Vegas Residency Over Ex-Husband Health

Kelly Clarkson has postponed the remainder of her August Las Vegas residency shows due to the serious illness of her ex-husband and father of her children, Brandon Blackstock. She expressed on Instagram that she normally keeps her personal life private but needs to be fully present for her children during this difficult time. Clarkson initially delayed the residency's opening in early July, citing vocal issues, but later revealed the cancellations were related to her ex-husband's health struggles over the past year. The singer, who shares two children with Blackstock, has apologized to fans for the inconvenience and expressed gratitude for their understanding and support. This is not the first time Clarkson has canceled shows recently, as she also missed multiple episodes of her talk show earlier in the year amid personal challenges. The specific nature of Blackstock's illness remains undisclosed, and Clarkson's residency is expected to resume in November 2025.
