According to a show insider, The Kelly Clarkson Show will be coming back as scheduled next season, despite the host dealing with tremendous grief.
“She is first and foremost present for her kids and processing the tragedy herself in many different layers but she has been in some meetings already.
“And she is looking forward to her show coming back. The show is coming back as scheduled next month, no changes are being made as of right now.
“Everything is moving along as previously planned before this. She needs a sense of normalcy and routine, and quite frankly needs the distraction,” the insider claimed.
The source continued to talk about Kelly’s children she shares with Brandon, River, 11, and Remington, 9: “She wants the same for her kids.
“Helping them navigate through this is her top priority. There’s no rule book or instruction book for it.
“She is trying her best but she’s struggling helping them cope to life without their dad. She’s putting on a brave face for everyone around her though, that’s for sure.
“For someone who is so emotional, she is so good at holding everything together and being strong for others. She’s an amazing mom.
“She is so hard on herself and feels like she’s not being good enough for her kids. It’s all very complicated.”
The show insider added that Kelly, 43, was handling the matter privately as most of the crew members were not privy to what was really going on behind the scenes with Brandon.
“People on her staff knew she had something going on with her husband. A select few knew he was sick, the rest suspected he was sick.
“But no one knew it was going to be so bad so quickly. It was a shock to everyone and I think Kelly herself that he passed away when he did.

“A lot of the staff had met him before, it’s a really difficult thing to process for everybody,” they said.
TRAGIC END
On August 7th, Brandon’s former company, Starstruck Entertainment, announced that he had passed away at the age of 48 following a battle with melanoma cancer.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away.
“Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years,
“He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.
“We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time,” the company where Brandon served as a music manager for years stated.

While Kelly has already canceled several professional projects that were set to happen in August, such as her Las Vegas concerts and a Texas charity benefit, the September premiere of her talk show is seemingly still happening.
PRIVATE BATTLE
Brandon, who became very private following his divorce from Kelly, 43, was rarely pictured in recent years.
After the couple’s separation in June 2020, Brandon left Los Angeles, where Kelly was currently residing to host her talk show, and moved to live a quieter life on his ranch in Montana.
The couple endured a drawn-out custody battle that turned nasty in court after Kelly filed for divorce in June of 2020.
Their divorce was finalized in 2022 and cost Kelly a fortune, including a one-time payment of $1.3 million, monthly child support of $45,601, as well as a monthly spousal support payment of $115,000.
However, Kelly was granted primary custody of their two children, River Rose and Remington Alexander with Brandon having visitation rights.
