Kelly Clarkson's Show Unfazed: Postpones Vegas for Family Amid Tragedy

The Kelly Clarkson Show's filming schedule reportedly won't be impacted by the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. Production is said to be due to kick off as planned in a matter of weeks

Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock's Tragic Passing Won't Dampen Her TV Show Plans

In a shocking turn of events, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has left this world far too soon, but his untimely passing won't be impacting her highly-anticipated TV show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Sources close to the production confirm that filming is set to kick off as scheduled in early September, with tickets already available for eager fans.

The 43-year-old pop sensation had been juggling her professional life and personal heartache after announcing the postponement of her Las Vegas residency just days before Blackstock's passing. It seems she's taken a brief hiatus from her show business duties to be by her children's side, River and Remington, who are still reeling from their father's loss.

But Kelly's not alone in her grief - Reba McEntire, her stepmother, also had to film her appearance for The Voice Season 28 just days after Blackstock's passing. It must have been an emotional experience for both Kelly and Reba as they navigated the reality of life without Brandon.

As reported by Deadline, a source close to Kelly revealed that she missed one shoot for The Voice earlier this month following Blackstock's death but was back on set filming just days later. This determined diva is not letting her personal struggles get in the way of her professional obligations - a testament to her strength and resilience.

In an emotional tribute to her late ex-husband, Kelly had shared a heartfelt message with her fans on X (formerly Twitter) shortly before his passing: '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.'

While Kelly kept mum about the specifics of Blackstock's health issues, it's clear that he had been battling cancer for over three years before his passing. The news of his death sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many taking to social media to pay their respects.

According to a family representative, Brandon passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones and left behind a legacy that will be deeply missed. As Kelly navigates this difficult time, it's clear she'll continue to prioritize her family's well-being above all else - including her TV show duties.
