Las Vegas, Nevada – Kelly Clarkson has announced the postponement of her first two shows for her upcoming Las Vegas residency, titled “Studio Sessions,” due to vocal strain stemming from intense rehearsals. The performances were originally set for July 4 and 5 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Clarkson expressed her regret over the last-minute decision, emphasizing the importance of her long-term vocal health and artistic integrity.
The singer, who had been preparing eagerly for her residency, noted that the extensive preparation had taken a toll on her voice. To ensure that she can deliver the quality performances her fans expect, she plans to take the upcoming weekend and the following week to rest and recover. While the announcement has been disappointing for many fans, they have shown understanding and support for Clarkson’s choice to prioritize her health.
The “Studio Sessions” residency is crafted as an intimate, no-tracks, live showcase that spans 18 dates, scheduled from July 4 to November 15. Following her successful previous residency, “Chemistry: An Intimate Evening,” which took place in 2023 and 2024 at Bakkt Theater, the anticipation for “Studio Sessions” was high. “Chemistry” was well-received, selling out numerous shows and garnering positive reviews.
Ticket prices for the postponed “Studio Sessions” shows ranged from $133 for balcony seating to over $1,200 for premium resale options. In light of the postponement, Caesars Palace confirmed that ticket holders could request a refund or keep their tickets for future rescheduled dates, although new dates have yet to be determined.
This trend of rescheduling or postponing performances due to health reasons has become increasingly noticeable in the entertainment industry. Clarkson’s decision echoes similar situations faced by other artists, including Adele, who postponed her Las Vegas residency in 2022 due to health issues. Fans and industry professionals alike have recognized the importance of prioritizing long-term health over immediate performance demands.
As supporters rally behind Clarkson, many have expressed appreciation for her transparency and commitment to her craft. The announcement has reignited conversations about the immense pressures placed on performers and the necessity of balancing artistic ambition with personal well-being.
Kelly Clarkson’s journey as a performer continues to inspire many, and as she gears up for her Las Vegas residency, her fans remain hopeful and supportive of her path to recovery. With her rest and recovery, Clarkson aims to return to the stage ready to deliver an unforgettable experience that reflects her dedication to both her art and her audience.
