Kelly Clarkson is mourning the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, at age 48 from cancer. Their 2020 divorce was reportedly "messy and painful," involving a legal battle over Blackstock's business dealings as Clarkson's manager. Despite the difficulties, Clarkson prioritized maintaining a positive relationship between Blackstock and their children, River and Remington. Clarkson had postponed her Las Vegas residency to spend time with her children during Blackstock's illness.
