Kelly Clarkson has postponed the remainder of her August Las Vegas residency shows, citing a need to be with her children as their father, Brandon Blackstock, battles an unspecified illness. Clarkson made the announcement via a post on her social media on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a candid Instagram post, the singer-songwriter shared with her fans, \u201cUnfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas. While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children\u2019s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement comes after Clarkson had canceled the first two shows of her residency in early July, initially citing vocal strain from preparations and rehearsals. A source at the time hinted that the singer was facing \u201cserious hidden battles\u201d that few were aware of. Clarkson\u2019s latest announcement confirms that her ex-husband\u2019s health is the reason for the postponements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarkson and Blackstock, who were married for seven years before their split in June 2020, share two children: daughter River Rose, 10, and son Remington Alexander, 8. Despite a contentious and highly-publicized divorce that was finalized in 2022, Clarkson\u2019s statement underscores her commitment to co-parenting and supporting her children during this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was ordered by a California labor commissioner to repay Clarkson over $2.6 million in commissions for unlawfully procured business deals while he was her manager. Blackstock and his management company have since denied the allegations in a new lawsuit filed by Clarkson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarkson concluded her post by apologizing to her fans, adding, \u201cI am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.\u201d A representative for Blackstock has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding his condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
