Kelly Clarkson previously canceled a few shows in July.
This is not the first time Clarkson has had to cancel.
The day before her Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions – The Las Vegas Residency at Caesars Palace was scheduled to kick off on Friday, July 4, she said she had to postpone due to her own health issues.
“We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans,” Clarkson wrote in a statement on Instagram. “I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow’s opening at Caesars. The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice.”
Brandon Blackstock's Health Battle
Kelly Clarkson tried to keep her ex's illness 'under wraps,' a source said.
As OK! previously reported, the "Stronger" singer has been keeping quiet about her ex's health battle on purpose.
"Kelly tried to keep this all very under wraps out of respect for Brandon," the insider said. "Kelly is very valued by [NBC], and they have told her that whatever she needs, they will do. If that means more time off and more guest hosts to fill in, then they will make that happen with no questions asked."
