Kelly Clarkson cancels Las Vegas residency dates as she reveals formerhusband Brandon Blackstock is 'ill'

Kelly Clarkson has cancelled her Las Vegas residency dates as her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock is "ill".

The 43-year-old singer has scrapped her remaining August performances in Sin City in order to support her daughter Ruby Rose, 11, and son Remy, nine, amid her former spouse's illness.

Kelly wrote on social media platform X: "Unfortunately, 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's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them."

The Since U Been Gone hitmaker's post added: "I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding."

Kelly's post came just an hour after fans had spotted that their digital tickets for the gigs this weekend had been changed to dates in July 2026.

The star cancelled the opening night of her Vegas residency last month as she was suffering from illness and apologised to her fans when she returned to the stage the following weekend.

Clarkson told the crowd: "It took me a minute. I'm so sorry.

"I know some of y’all had tickets for last weekend's shows. I’m so sorry. We can't help our bodies sometimes. You know, we get sick, and that happens.

"But thank y'all for showing up. We are so excited. This is my favourite residency — my favourite show I’ve ever put together, because I love being in the studio."
