Kelly Clarkson’s Ex-Husband Brandon Blackstock Dies After Private Battle with Cancer

A day after postponing her remaining Las Vegas residency dates due to a family emergency, singer Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, passed away on Thursday, August 7. A representative for Blackstock’s family confirmed his death to several international outlets, revealing he had been privately battling cancer for over three years.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,” the representative said. “Brandon bravely fought cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.”

The statement also requested privacy for the family during this difficult time, thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock were married in 2013 and had two children together — daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9. The couple divorced in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.

On Wednesday, Clarkson shared on Instagram that she would be postponing the rest of her August Studio Session shows in Las Vegas. She explained, “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.”
