Kelly Clarkson Cancels Vegas Residency: Family Crisis Takes Priority
SCANDAL ROCKS KELLY CLARKSON'S WORLD: Singer Cancels Las Vegas Residency Amid Ex-Husband's Mysterious Illness
In a shocking turn of events, Kelly Clarkson has canceled the remainder of her highly-anticipated Las Vegas residency due to a health-related issue with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The 43-year-old singer made the announcement on Wednesday, leaving fans in a state of panic and speculation.
According to sources close to the situation, Blackstock's mysterious illness has left Clarkson feeling "overwhelmed" and unable to continue with her scheduled concerts. In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Clarkson revealed that she needs to prioritize her family during this difficult time.
"I need to be fully present for them," Clarkson wrote, referring to her two children with Blackstock, River, 11, and Remington, 9. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill."
Clarkson's decision to cancel her residency comes just a few months after she was noticeably absent from her eponymous talk show for an extended period. The singer had only revealed that she was taking time off due to "personal reasons," leaving fans to speculate about the true nature of her absence.
However, in recent weeks, sources close to Clarkson have come forward with claims that the singer is unhappy with her show and has been considering quitting altogether. It seems that Clarkson's decision to prioritize her family may be a permanent one, as she seeks to focus on her loved ones during this challenging time.
But what exactly is going on with Blackstock's mysterious illness? Insiders claim that he has been dealing with health issues for some time now, and Clarkson's sudden cancellation of her residency suggests that the situation may be more severe than initially thought.
A History of Drama: Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock's Rocky Relationship
Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock's relationship was once a power couple to be reckoned with. The two were married in 2013 and had a romantic and professional partnership, with Blackstock serving as Clarkson's manager. However, their relationship began to unravel in 2020 when Clarkson filed for divorce on grounds of irreconcilable differences.
The two engaged in a messy divorce battle, with Clarkson accusing Blackstock of embezzling millions from her earnings. In 2022, the California Labor Commissioner ruled that Blackstock had indeed overstepped his role as Clarkson's manager and had collected commissions without authorization.
Clarkson eventually won a $2.6 million judgment against her ex-husband in May 2023. However, it seems that their drama is far from over. Insiders claim that Clarkson has been working hard to rebuild her relationship with Blackstock and prioritize their children's well-being during this challenging time.
