Kelly Clarkson breaks silence after leaving fans concerned with talk show absence

Kelly Clarkson has attempted to make up for her TV absence by announcing some very exciting news to her fans.

Shortly after it was alleged that the Grammy Award-winning singer was “ready to leave” The Kelly Clarkson Show, the mom-of-two took a leave of absence with guest hosts such as Andy Cohen filling in for her temporarily.

According to those close to Kelly, 43, she is “focusing on herself” as she deals with personal “struggles.”But many of her fans have been left unimpressed with the change, and some have even boycotted the NBC show.

Commenting on a post on the talk show’s official Instagram, one person wrote: "She lost me with the first round of No Show," and another said: "No Kelly no more watch!!!!!!"

“Don’t watch when Kelly isn’t hosting,” a third person commented.

Kelly appeared to have been paying attention to their frustration and announced some major news earlier this week.

It was confirmed that Kelly will headline the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey on May 9 and 10, treating fans to hits such as Stronger, Breakaway and Since U Been Gone.

Kelly took to Instagram and shared a photo of her onstage alongside a caption which read: "Who has tickets for Atlantic City? Can't wait to see y'all there!"

It comes shortly before Kelly heads to Nevada this summer for her Studio Sessions: The Las Vegas Residency, so not only will she be absent frm her talk show for half of the summer, she'll also be taking her in-studio Kellyoke band with her too.

The intimate show will run for 18 days, kicking off on the Fourth of July at Caesars Palace, and she will also return just before the holidays for another week of concerts.

The singer is no stranger to Sin City. To promote her tenth studio album Chemistry, she lived there for some time in 2023 for a residency at Planet Hollywood.

Several other artists are set to take on a Las Vegas residency this year including Maroon 5, Mariah Carey, Pitbull, the Backstreet Boys and Carrie Underwood, who won American Idol a few years after Kelly did in 2002.
