Brandon Hastokethe ex-husband of the singer and talk show host Kelly Clarksondied at the age of 48. A representative of the family confirmed the tragic news, showing that Hastock had been dead in a private brave battle with cancer for more than three years. The news shocked many people because the family largely saw his illness as public sight.
The news comes the second day after Kelly Clarkson postponed her Las Vegas residency performance, citing the need to “full attend” for her children because their father is ill. Her statement was posted on social media, full of exciting glimpses of the private struggles of the family.
“While I usually keep my personal life private, my child's father has been ill over the past year and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,” Clarkson wrote. It's clear now that she is playing a demanding role as a caregiver, supporting her children and ex-husband in the final months.
Clarkson and Blackstock got married between 2013 and 2020 and shared two children, Rose River and Remington Alexander. Although their divorce is openly controversial, the family’s statement emphasizes commitment to shared parents and shared love for children.
“We are very sad and we share the news of Brandon Blackstock’s death.” Family statement read. “Brendan has bravely fought cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by his family. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the privacy of their families during this very difficult time.”
The sudden loss of parents and beloved family members is an unimaginable difficulty. The private nature of Blackstock’s battle with cancer shows that a family is trying to deal with a serious health crisis with dignity and strength. His passes left not only his two kids, but Clarkson, and the other two kids.
Public support and compassion are crucial when a family struggles to deal with grief. It’s a reminder that behind the headlines about Clarkson-made is the desire to quit her show, with some facing deep personal and painful challenges. Our idea is what it is when Black Stocks and the Clarkson family have spent this difficult time.
