Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions - The Las Vegas Residency was due to kick of yesterday and was promising to 'bring the studio experience' to the stage.
But, with just an hour and a half until show time, she broke the bad
news
to fans.
Taking to Instagram,
"I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars."
Kelly said that both "prep and rehearsals" had "taken a toll" on her voice, and that she wanted "the shows to be perfect for y'all."
The Because Of You singer added: "I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and
next
week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.
"The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong."
She concluded the heartfelt post with: "I can't wait to be back
next
weekend and show y'all what we've been working on."

FUTURE OF TALK SHOW
Last month, there was concern from fans that her Vegas residency could put Kelly's talk show in jeopardy of being canceled.
However, an insider recently assured The U.S. Sun that this wasn't the case,

In fact, the team at NBCUniversal worked to make sure the residency did not interfere with the talk show.
'NBCUni worked with the Caesars group to make sure filming didn't overlap. Kelly's show won't be impacted by the residency," the source told us.
'Everyone walked away from it happy. Caesars gets their show,
NBC
gets their show, and they'll cross-promote, respectively."
The source then added: 'The Kelly Show is
NBC
's number one daytime priority and is in no way in any danger of being canceled.
'There are big plans for the
future
of the franchise and the network encourages Kelly to take gigs outside of the show because it only helps her talk show's viewership too."
Her
NBC
daytime show is on hiatus for the
summer
, so it will not be impacted by the July and August Vegas dates.

Ronaldo's sister defends his absence at Diogo Jota's funeral
Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has hit back back at critics over her brother's absence from Diogo Jota's funeral. Jota and his brother Andre tragically died in a car crash on Thursday and their funerals were held on Saturday. Several of Jota's teammates attended the ceremony in Gondomar, near Porto, but Ronaldo chose not to attend, concerned that his high-profile presence might overshadow the funeral. Ronaldo did receive some criticism over his decision and his sister has hit back in a series of posts on Instagram, reports the Mirror. On her story, Katia wrote: "When my father died. In addition to the pain of loss we had to deal with a flood of cameras and curious onlookers at the cemetery and everywhere we went. "And attention was not what it is today in terms of access... At no time were we (the children) able to leave the chapel; it was only possible at the time of the burial, such was the commotion. "At the funeral, there were presidents, coaches of the national team at the time, such as Luís Filipe Scolari, etc. I don't remember seeing any of them. And they certainly greeted me. The pain blinded me. "About pain/family and real support... You will never know what it means until you go through it. If someone sends me a message criticising anything my brother does, I will block it (completely ignore it), that is, they will only do it once. "It's getting tiring. The fanaticism. The criticism for nothing, I repeat nothing... Sick society... We all have families. "It is absurdly shameful to watch TV channels/commentators/social networks emphasising an absence (wise) rather than respectfully honouring the pain of a mutilated family destroyed by the loss of two brothers. I am even ashamed to watch. Regrettable. "And so the world goes... Society and opinion. Today they are worthless. They themselves have become bottomless pits. I feel sorry... And war is also like that. Believe me. Human evil is also a war. And every day we have to fight against it. And so it goes." Ronaldo posted a heartfelt tribute on social media for Jota, noting: "It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, and you had just gotten married. To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. "I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you."

Is the war really over? Liam Gallagher leaves stadium with Noel still on stage
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher put on a united front in their first Oasis Live 25 gigs, but the question on everyone's lips is: Have they actually made up? The rock band split up in dramatic fashion after a physical fight broke out between the brothers just minutes before they were set to play Rock en Seine in Paris in 2009. Last year, the brothers revealed 'the guns have fallen silent,' as they announced they were set to reunite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@extradotie) The Oasis tour was initially set to be 17 dates across the UK and Ireland, but has since branched out into a world tour with dates in North America, Australia, South America and Asia. On Friday, the tour kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium with footage circulating online showing the brothers holding raised hands as they took in the cheering crowds. Elsewhere, both brothers hailed each other, sending fans wild in what appeared to be their way of showing their war was over.

Pic: AFP STRINGER/AFP via Getty Images The Mail on Sunday reports that while the concert-goers were delighted with the first two concerts, there is still a 'frosty' atmosphere between the brothers who still 'can't stand each other.' The publication report that the brothers haven't forgiven each other, with questions as to whether the tour will make it to the end. The brothers forged a united front on the stage, but following the end of Friday's gig, there was no messing with Liam, 52, rushing off stage and straight into a car while Noel, 58, hung back slightly and waved at fans. @mianorris6 Liam's off, leaving Noel behind 🤣🤣 #oasis #principalitystadium #cardiff #oasisreunion ♬ original sound 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗧𝘃 The Mail on Sunday report that the brothers stayed in different hotels, 20 miles from each other, with Liam staying at Celtic Manor Resort and Noel closer to the stadium at the Parkgate Hotel. Both brothers are forecast to earn in the region of £50m from the tour, with ticket prices ranging from £200 to £2,000. The Gallagher brothers now return to their native of Manchester where they will play five nights at Heaton Park before heading to London and Edinburgh. Next month, all going well, Noel and Liam will take to the stage at Dublin's Croke Park for two sold out nights on August 16 and 17.
