Kelly Clarkson Shares Ex Brandon Blackstock Is Sick, Postpones Shows
Kelly Clarkson needs to be there for her family.
The "Since U Been Gone" singer shared that she had to reschedule the remainder of her August Studio Sesson concerts at Las Vegas' Colosseum at Caesars Palace because her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock—with whom she shares kids River Rose, 11, and Remington "Remy" Alexander, 8—is suffering from an undisclosed illness.
"Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas," Kelly wrote on Instagram Aug. 6. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them."
And while the 43-year-old didn't specify when the postponed shows will be rescheduled, Ticketmaster already has new dates in 2026 listed on its website.
"I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows," added Kelly, who kicked off her residency in July, "and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.
This isn't the first time Kelly has had to make last-minute alterations to her concert series. Last month, the American Idol alum abruptly canceled two of her concerts due to having a vocal strain.
“The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice,” she said in a July 4 statement on Instagram, hours before she was supposed to perform. “I want the shows to be perfect for y’all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve. The show is truly incredible.”
And Kelly offered her apologies when she returned to the stage the following week.
"I know some of y’all had tickets for last weekend's shows," the Kelly Clarkson Show host told the audience July 11 via a video shared on TikTok. "I’m so sorry. We can't help our bodies sometimes. You know, we get sick, and that happens."
"But thank y'all for showing up,” she added. “We are so excited. This is my favorite residency, my favorite show I’ve ever put together, because I love being in the studio."
