Kelly Clarkson postponed the opening weekend of her Las Vegas residency, "Studio Sessions," at Caesars Palace's Colosseum due to vocal issues. The Grammy-winning singer canceled the first two shows scheduled for July 4 and 5 less than two hours before the opening night was set to begin. Clarkson stated that the rehearsals and preparations had taken a toll on her voice, and she aimed to protect it from serious damage. She expressed devastation over the postponement and emphasized her desire for the show to be perfect. The last-minute cancellations reportedly surprised her concert crew, with some sources suggesting additional personal challenges contributed to the decision. Clarkson communicated the postponement via social media, underscoring the need to rest her voice before resuming the residency at a later date.
