Brandon Blackstock, who was married to Kelly Clarkson from 2013 to 2022, tragically died on August 7, 2025, at the age of 48 due to melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer

. He had been privately battling the illness for over three years, and his family confirmed that he passed away peacefully at home in Butte, Montana, surrounded by loved ones

. Melanoma is known for its high potential to spread to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment critical

During his illness, Kelly Clarkson postponed her Las Vegas “Studio Sessions” shows in August 2025 to focus on supporting their children, River Rose and Remington Alexander, and to be present for Blackstock during his health struggles

. Blackstock also had two children from a previous marriage, Seth and Savannah, who were part of his family support system during his battle with cancer

Blackstock was a well-known talent manager, having worked with artists like Blake Shelton and Rascal Flatts, and he also had producer credits on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and other television specials

. Despite their divorce, Clarkson remained protective and supportive of him during his illness, highlighting the family’s focus on privacy and care during this difficult time

Melanoma, the illness that claimed Blackstock’s life, is a serious form of skin cancer that can be fatal if not detected early. It is the most dangerous type of skin cancer due to its ability to metastasize, and it is estimated to cause thousands of deaths annually in the U.S.

. Blackstock’s passing underscores the importance of awareness and early intervention for skin cancer.
