Your ex-husband is ill: pop star Kelly Clarkson says Vegas shows

US singer Kelly Clarkson (43) has made a difficult decision: she pauses her successful Las Vegas Residency “Studio Sessions” to be present in a family emergency. The reason for the unexpected interruption is the disease of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock (48), as reported in a statement at X.

“Unfortunately, I have to move the remaining August Termines of my ‘Studio Sessions’ in Las Vegas,” said the “Since U Been Gone” interpreter about her social media channels. Her words clearly showed the emotional stress on the situation.

Usually Clarkson strictly keeps her private life away from the public. But this time she was forced to make an exception. “Although I usually keep my private life privately: my children’s father suffered last year, and at that moment I have to be completely there for her,” the singer explained to her fans. The decision for the cancellation was obviously difficult for the TV presenter: “I’m sincerely sorry for everyone who bought tickets for the shows, and I appreciate your grace, friendliness and your understanding so much.”

This is not the first time this year that Clarkson had to postpone her vegas appearances. The opening dates on July 4th and 5th had it – at that time for health reasons. After too intensive rehearsals, their vocal cords threatened “serious damage”, as she announced.

There were still four appearances in August. should now take place on November 7th.

The singer born in Texas and her ex-husband Blackstock have two children together. Her divorce was finalized in 2022 after the two married in 2013.
