Overview

• A 2019 plan would have paired Clarkson, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani for a family-themed season of The Voice.
• The concept was abandoned in 2020 after Clarkson’s divorce from Brandon Blackstock introduced personal conflicts among the coaches.
• On August 6, Clarkson canceled the remainder of her Caesars Palace residency as Blackstock’s melanoma battle intensified.
• Starstruck Entertainment confirmed Brandon Blackstock’s death at age 48 on August 7, prompting Clarkson to pause her performance commitments.
• No timetable has been announced for Clarkson’s return to The Voice or for reviving the proposed family-focused season.
