Clarkson Halts Las Vegas Residency Amid Blackstock’s Reported Illness
Kelly Clarkson has postponed her Las Vegas residency, “Studio Sessions,” to support her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who is reportedly facing serious health issues, according to 24 Daily News.
In an emotional Instagram post, Clarkson stated she must prioritize her children and Blackstock, referring to him as “her children’s father” and expressing that she needs to “be fully present” for them, 24 Daily News confirms. This decision follows a previous extended absence from her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” reportedly to support him through difficult times.
Brandon Blackstock, born December 16, 1976, is a music manager from Fort Worth, Texas. He is known for managing artists like Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, and Carly Pearce, as well as having managed Clarkson herself during their marriage, as 24 Daily News has learned. He is also the stepson of country star Reba McEntire, and they remain close despite his parents’ divorce.
Clarkson’s decision to postpone her residency reflects her commitment to her family during this crisis. She thanked fans for their understanding and grace in light of the cancellation. As 24 Daily News reports, financial scrutiny has recently followed Blackstock; his estimated net worth is around $10 million, a figure tied to his career in talent management and legal settlements from divorce proceedings.
