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, Kelly penned: "We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans.
"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."
The announcement came just hours after she got fans going to the show excited with behind-the-scenes snaps, and wrote: "TONIGHT!!"
After news of Kelly cancelling this weekend's shows, fans commented with one saying: "'Totally bummed that we flew all the way to Vegas only to find out that the show was cancelled 1 1/2 hours prior to show time. So so sad!!"

Kelly will now start her Vegas show later this month, with dates in August as well.
The residency will then take a break and resume in November.
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.
When The Kelly Clarkson Show resumes production in September, when Kelly will be back to focusing on her hosting duties.
However, she was able to 'find a workaround' for the November dates, and all of her talk show tapings are planned to go on as scheduled.

Jessie J regrets not saying 'goodbye to her old breast' after mastectomy
Candid queen Jessie J has revealed she regrets not saying 'goodbye' to her 'old boob' as she recovers from a mastectomy. The 37-year-old singer was gearing up for a major comeback but a shock early breast cancer diagnosis has halted her return to the spotlight. Real name Jessica Ellen Cornish, Jessie said she is going to 'disappear' for a bit as she underwent surgery shortly after her Capital Summertime Ball performance. Despite teasing her disappearance, her social media has been busy as ever, with the star keeping fans up to date with her recovery. '2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago,' the Price Tag icon shared in an Instagram story. 'She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. 'Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days.' Jessie previously shared she had received the health news just before the release of her song No Secrets in April. In June, she underwent a mascetomy which the Domino singer joked had left her with 'wonky boobs', creating a little difficulty with her outfits until she 'matches them up'. Taking a break from her signature comedic personality, Jessie revealed she 'went into survival mode' after her diagnosis. She shared: 'There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening.' Jessie continued: 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 'Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'. Jessie has not clarified if the cancer is all gone yet, as she was forced to clarify that she was hopeful in a previous post, which had been misunderstood. The Living My Best Life singer had listed various pros post-surgery, which included watching Love Island 'guilt-free' and the fact her mum was living with them. More Trending In another post, she thanked her 'superhero' mum who dropped everything to help Jessie and her partner — professional basketball player Chanan Colman — with their son, Sky. The couple welcomed their first child in May 2023, with Jessie getting lots of praise over her candid updates on her postpartum and life as a mum. Jessie has promised that when she is ready, she will finally make her comeback with 'massive t**s and more music.' Until then, she'll be on the sofa watching Love Island if anyone needs her.

MELANIE C issues a sweet message to her Spice Girls bandmate Mel B after she missed her lavish London wedding. The popstar was absent from Mel's happy day at St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, which saw Emma Bunton, 49, the sole other girl group member in attendance.

The Wannabe singer stunned in a gown adorned with dazzling pearl detail around the collar and sleeves and a long flowing veil as she stepped out of the iconic venue. Ahead of the ceremony, fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton led the star-studded arrivals in a pale pink frock and matching hat as she rocked up with husband Jade Jones and son Beau, 17. Yet Mel C, who forged a solo career post-band with tracks including I Turn To You, has now revealed the reason for her no-show. Advertisement She uploaded a snap showing the happy couple together with the words: "So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. "Excited to celebrate with you really soon. Yipee!" In her next slide, Mel showcased a snap of her performing in Stockholm, Sweden. She added the words: "Bit of a soggy one last night." Advertisement SPICE UP YOUR LIFE It comes after it was revealed that 51-year-old Victoria Beckham wouldn't be attending the nuptials. But making sure that Mel felt the love, she shared an Instagram tribute post ahead of her big day with Rory. Mel B's hen do celebrations Posh Spice took to her Instagram stories to share a stunning snap of her and her bandmate looking all glammed up. She added the sweet caption: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! Advertisement "@rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx." Victoria, as well as fellow bandmate Geri, were not present at the ceremony. The MailOnline originally told how Victoria would be out of the country and therefore would not be present to watch Mel walk down the aisle. A source said: "Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there. Advertisement "She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame. "There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things." Meanwhile Geri is said to have been absent because of her tense relationship with Mel. The two women had a pretty big falling out when Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out. Advertisement Mel made the confession while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019. Geri was stunned and upset by Mel's admission, and even more saddened when Mel allegedly did not issue an apology. 7 Mel was on stage in Sweden at the time of the ceremony Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Baby Spice looked stunning in pale pink attire Credit: Splash Advertisement
