'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage (sic),' she said. 'I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve (sic).'
She also praised her team of musicians and singers, calling the show 'truly incredible' and promising fans a strong return the following weekend.
The residency was announced in February, creating much excitement among fans. Clarkson's next performance at Caesars Palace is now expected to take place the weekend after the delay, with the remaining schedule continuing as planned.
