Kelly Clarkson kicked off her Las Vegas residency's first show with an apology to fans after postponing opening night last week: 'I'm so sorry. We can't help our bodies sometimes.'

Kelly Clarkson kicked off her latest Las Vegas residency on Friday, July 11 — one week after she was forced to cancel two shows hours before the first was scheduled to begin to 'protect' her voice.

Clarkson isn’t the first singer to cancel just hours before their Vegas debut, as Adele made waves in 2022 for postponing her entire Vegas residency just 24 hours before her first show kicked off.
