In a heartfelt announcement on August 6, 2025, singer and talk show host Kelly Clarkson revealed the postponement of her Las Vegas residency due to her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock's illness. Clarkson expressed her need to be "fully present" for their children during this challenging time.

Clarkson shared the news via her verified Instagram account, stating, "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas." She continued, "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 concluded her message by apologizing to ticket holders and expressing gratitude for their understanding.

The Las Vegas residency, titled "Studio Sessions," was scheduled to run throughout August at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The remaining shows have been postponed, with rescheduled dates to be announced at a later time.

Clarkson and Blackstock share two children: daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, 9. The couple divorced in March 2022 after seven years of marriage. Despite their separation, Clarkson's decision to pause her professional commitments underscores her dedication to her family's well-being.

As of now, no specific details about Blackstock's illness have been disclosed. Representatives for both Clarkson and Blackstock have not provided further comments. Fans and the public await updates on Blackstock's health and the rescheduling of Clarkson's residency dates.
