Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has died at the age of 48 after a private battle with cancer. The talent manager passed away on August 7, surrounded by family members. A family representative confirmed that Blackstock had been fighting cancer for more than three years without making his illness public.
The death has been particularly hard for Clarkson, who shared two children with Blackstock. River, 11, and Remington, 9, have lost their father during what was already a difficult time following their parents’ divorce. The singer has been focused on supporting her children through this tragic period.
