Singer Kelly Clarkson postponed the much-awaited opening of her Las Vegas residency on Friday, just over an hour before she was to go on stage. The singer addressed the situation in a statement she posted on Instagram, saying she had lost her voice due to the strain of prep and rehearsals.
Kelly Clarkson postpones Las Vegas performance
Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions - The Las Vegas Residency was set to kick off at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 4. A total of 18 performances were scheduled through November 15. However, on July 4, minutes before her opening performance was to begin, Kelly postponed it.
"We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans," she wrote in a message on Instagram 90 minutes before the show was set to begin. “I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me, and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow’s opening at Caesars.”
‘Rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice’
In the note, Kelly gave the reason behind the postponement. "The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y’all, and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage, so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve," the 43-year-old singer added.
