Both Clarkson and McEntire are reportedly missing tapings of The Voice after Blackstock’s August 7 death from melanoma (a form of skin cancer). Seasons 28 and 29 of the show are filming pre-taped episodes this summer, but McEntire and Clarkson are going to have to sit a few out, according to The U.S. Sun.

A source alleges that Brittney Marie Jones had an affair with the music executive, which her now-ex-husband, Greg LaPoint, found out about in the summer of 2023. “He got screwed over due to [Jones and Blackstock’s] fling starting during his marriage,” the insider claims.

Kelly Clarkson canceled her appearance at the Band Together Texas Benefit following the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. She and the late music manager share daughter River and son Remington.
