Kelly Clarkson has postponed her Las Vegas shows to focus on family. The singer revealed on August 6 that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, is dealing with a serious illness, and she wants to be fully present for their two children during this time. The rest of her August residency dates are now on hold.

Fans flooded her announcement with support, praising her for prioritizing her kids even after a difficult divorce. Many noted the maturity and strength it takes to step back during such a personal storm. “The kids come first,” one commenter wrote, echoing the general sentiment.

This isn’t the first challenge Clarkson has faced with her residency. In July, she canceled an opening night just 90 minutes before showtime due to vocal strain. Sources later hinted that her personal life remains complicated, contributing to emotional and physical exhaustion behind the scenes.

Clarkson, who finalized her divorce from Blackstock in 2022, has been open about the pain that shaped her recent album Chemistry. She’s spoken candidly about heartbreak, healing, and learning to rebuild. For now, her focus is clear: her children, their well-being, and taking the time they all need.
