""To everyone that took time 23 years ago to call in and vote for me, thank you 🙏," Clarkson captioned a confetti-filled throwback shot of the singing competition's finale. "Winning American Idol changed my life and I will be forever grateful for all of you that have supported me for so many years. It is a gift to find your purpose and passion, and to be able to make a living doing it is the cherry on top. Thank you, always.""
"The day before Blackstock died, Clarkson announced that she was postponing the rest of her August performances in Las Vegas to focus on her family. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill," she explained in an Instagram statement, "and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them." (She and Blackstock share two children.)"

She and Blackstock share two children. Replacement August dates have not been announced; her Vegas residency resumes in November, and she will return to television production and coaching duties this season and next spring.
