Brandon Blackstock, ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson and talent manager, died of melanoma at age 48. The Silver Bow County coroner confirmed the cause of death as natural, following a three-year battle with the disease. Blackstock's death was announced by his management company, Starstruck. Clarkson had previously postponed her Las Vegas residency due to Blackstock's illness, citing a need to be present for their children.
