Kelly Clarkson’s ‘hidden battles’ contributed to abrupt show cancellations: ‘She’s on thin ice’
Kelly Clarkson cancelled her Las Vegas residency minutes before showtime on July 4 over vocal issues – but she also faces “hidden battles,” sources tell Page Six.
The singer and TV host axed the opening night of her “Studio Sessions” residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace just 90 minutes before showtime last Friday, devastating fans.
Clarkson, 43, said she could not risk causing “serious damage” to her voice, as one Vegas insider told us, “She belts out every single note. She’s an incredibly powerful singer, but it takes its toll on her vocal cords and she’s come incredibly close to needing surgery before.

“She cannot risk damaging her cords further – she’s on thin ice.”
Back in March, Clarkson, 43, missed 10 episodes of her NBC talk show, with her spot being filled by guest hosts – and was absent again the following month when Andy Cohen stepped in to host. Both times she cited personal matters as her reason for taking off.
