Kelly Clarkson postpones Vegas shows to be ‘present’ for kids while ex Brandon Blackstock is sick

by

Kelly Clarkson has temporarily halted her Studio Sessions performances in Las Vegas, moving the last four shows originally planned for August to a later date, so she can address her family’s immediate requirements.

“Usually, I prefer to keep my personal life confidential, but over the past year, my former husband Brandon Blackstock has been unwell. At this point, it’s crucial for me to focus on our children.” This statement was shared by Clarkson on Instagram on a recent Wednesday. Their divorce, which followed seven years of marriage, was officially completed in 2022.

In tears, a ‘gutted’ Adele postpones Vegas residency one day before showtime

In a tearful announcement on Thursday, Adele declared that her show wasn’t yet prepared to begin, as ‘Weekends with Adele’ had been scheduled to debut the following day. However, the concert dates have been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later time.

Apologies from the bottom of my heart to everyone who purchased tickets for the shows. Your patience, compassion, and forgiveness are truly admirable,” the “Since U Been Gone” artist went on.

Approximately two days prior to her scheduled performance, Clarkson’s show was unexpectedly canceled. She was set to perform on Friday and Saturday, as well as on August 15th and 16th, but this sudden change didn’t elicit only polite reactions. Some fans expressed their frustration online about the non-refundable travel costs they had incurred for the event. Conversely, others applauded the singer for prioritizing her personal matters.

The residency will resume in September, as the former “American Idol” contestant has four concerts lined up.

As a devoted cinephile, I’m eagerly waiting for clarification about when Clarkson will rearrange the four shows she mentioned were delayed, not axed. The 18-show residency at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum was initially announced in February and commenced on the Fourth of July.

According to a recent ruling by a California labor official, Kelly Clarkson’s former spouse, Brandon Blackstock, is obligated to pay his ex-wife over $2.6 million as commissions.

In early March, Clarkson, who has both a son and a daughter with Blackstock, unexpectedly missed her talk show. As a result, the guest, Simu Liu, was left to take on the role of interviewer rather than interviewee.

On March 3, Liu informed the audience that unfortunately, Kelly couldn’t attend due to unavoidable circumstances. He added that they were sending their warmest wishes to her. This revelation came just a few minutes prior to his arrival, when he found out about it while preparing to promote his new movie ‘Last Breath’ on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, which Kelly had to suddenly leave.

At the given time, a source shared with TMZ that Clarkson was dealing with a private issue that wasn’t specifically linked to her.

As a cinephile, I found myself eagerly anticipating the return of my favorite TV series after a brief hiatus. Two weeks later, on March 20, I was thrilled to witness its monumental 1,000th episode. However, during the celebration, the star of the show remained mysteriously tight-lipped about her whereabouts and reasons for the absence – leaving us fans hanging on for more intriguing details.

For a thousand times, we’ve shared laughter, tears, songs, and dance, celebrations, and friendly competitions,” she said to the audience. “But I must confess, there have been moments when I’ve had to endure hardships on my own. But it’s alright.” After saying this, she expressed her gratitude and congratulations to her team.

Kelly Clarkson expresses a desire to adopt the name Kelly Brianne, stating that it better represents her true identity.

Back in 2022, I found myself parting ways with my ex, Blackstock, and we settled our divorce on mutually agreeable terms. I agreed to pay her a monthly sum of $45,000 for child support, along with a lump sum of $1.3 million. Fast forward to 2024, after some back-and-forth legal wrangles, we finally resolved our subsequent lawsuits. In 2023, a California labor official had ruled that Blackstock hadn’t earned more than $2.6 million in commissions from my singing career while we were together, despite serving as my manager, not my agent.

During a candid conversation with Zane Lowe in 2023, Kelly Clarkson openly admitted that she struggled to cope with her breakup.

During her divorce, therapy proved beneficial, and she found solace in emotional talks with her friends. She revealed that as a result of separating from Blackstock, she honed her ability to express herself more openly and carefully choose who to involve in her personal life.

“Not everyone,” she said, “is deserving of your story or worth it or worth your time.”
