Singer Kelly Clarkson has chosen to take a sudden break from her music career and hosting after her former husband, Brandon Blackstock had passed away yesterday.

Blackstock, who shares kids with the superstar, was said to be battling cancer. The news of his death was shared by his family online.

Clarkson left so many fans disappointed and in the dark when she abruptly altered her leave of absence and chose to step back from her planned live shows that many had bought tickets to see.

She shared how she was going through a difficult time right now, and it was hard for her to continue as she isn’t mentally or physically fit at this moment in time.

Sources shared how the entire situation was so tragic and sad, and seeing her struggle was the hardest part for those nearest and dearest to her.

Despite all of this and the drama of her divorce, including a custody battle, she still chose to stand and support her former lover, even on his deathbed. ‘It was hard for her and her children, but she had to do it, ‘ one insider revealed. The star has been said to have had an incredibly difficult divorce, but that never stopped her from being a good human being at heart.
