Kelly Clarkson suspends concert performances following her ex-husband's demise.
Kelly Clarkson Postpones Las Vegas Concerts Amidst Family Tragedy
In a heartbreaking turn of events, American singer and television host Kelly Clarkson has postponed several concerts in Las Vegas due to family reasons. The news comes after her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, lost his battle with cancer.
Brandon Blackstock, a talented talent manager, bravely fought cancer for more than three years. His illness was a family matter for Kelly Clarkson, and the reason she kept her private life out of the public eye. The couple, who were married for seven years, share two children, River Rose (11) and Remington Alexander (9).
Starstruck Entertainment, Brandon's father's company, announced his death on Thursday. Brandon also has two other children from a previous marriage.
Kelly Clarkson's worldwide fame as a singer and her victory in the first season of "American Idol" in 2002 have made her a household name. Her Las Vegas concert schedule is currently ongoing and active, with shows booked through at least November 2025 and even into July 2026. Upcoming concerts include dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on November 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2025, plus a show on July 17, 2026.
Kelly Clarkson recently apologized to all who had already purchased tickets for the postponed concerts, expressing her deepest sympathies for the inconvenience caused. There is no public information indicating any cancellations, postponements, or changes to her Las Vegas concert schedule related to Brandon Blackstock's passing.
Despite the personal challenges, Clarkson continues to captivate audiences with her powerhouse vocals and engaging stage presence. Her fans eagerly await her return to the stage in Las Vegas, where she has been delivering mesmerizing performances since July 2025.
