Clarkson delays scheduled shows for her Las Vegas residency
Kelly Clarkson Postpones Las Vegas Residency Due to Family Illness
Pop superstar Kelly Clarkson has postponed her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, following an illness in her family. Specifically, her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock is currently unwell.
The affected dates were initially scheduled for August 8, 9, 15, and 16, 2025. However, new dates have been scheduled for July and August 2026, including July 17, 18, 24, 25, 31, and August 1, with additional dates in November 2025.
This is the second time Clarkson has had to postpone part of the residency, as she also canceled opening weekend in July due to a vocal strain. The new dates mark a slight delay from the original start date, which was set for July.
Clarkson took to social media to express her apologies to fans, stating that she needed to be fully present for her children, which was a factor in the postponement. She also apologized to those who had bought tickets for her shows.
Clarkson and Blackstock, who share a daughter, River, born in 2014, and a son, Remy, born in 2016, met at Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012 and married the following year. Seven years later, Clarkson filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." The divorce was settled in 2022.
Regarding Blackstockβs health or the details of the divorce settlement, there are no specific updates in the latest search results. The announcement about Blackstock's health was made by a representative for the Blackstock family.

Despite postponing her Las Vegas residency due to a family illness, pop superstar Kelly Clarkson's shows in July and August 2026, including July 17, 18, 24, 25, 31, and August 1, will still take place, though additional dates in November 2025 have been added. The change in dates is significant, as they push back the start of Clarkson's residency, which was initially set for July.
The affected dates were initially scheduled for August 2025, but now include a mix of dates in 2025 and 2026, drawing more attention to Las Vegas' entertainment scene, particularly casinos and gambling, as the Nevada city is well-known for hosting world-class entertainment and celebrity events.
