Kelly Clarkson says her ex-husband has been ill, postpones August concerts in Las Vegas

Kelly Clarkson said she is postponing the rest of her “Studio Session” concerts in Las Vegas this month as her family faces a difficult chapter

Kelly Clarkson said she is postponing the rest of her “Studio Session” concerts in Las Vegas this month as her family faces a difficult chapter.

Clarkson, a Grammy-winning singer, said Wednesday on Instagram that she was postponing the August shows so she could support her children as their father, her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, has been unwell.

“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,” she wrote.

Clarkson and Blackstock divorced in March 2022, two years after they announced their separation. The couple share two children: daughter River Rose, who was born in 2014, and son Remington Alexander, born in 2016. Clarkson lives with her children in New York City, where she also hosts a daytime talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

She seemed to address her ex-husband through her music a number of times, both in her 2023 songs “Mine” and “Me” and on her talk show, when she revised the lyrics to Olivia Rodrigo’s song “abcdefu” during one of her 2023 performances.
