Brandon Blackstock cause of death revealed: Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband dies at 48, singer ‘devastated'
Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, has died, his family and rep confirmed. He was 48. Blackstock had reportedly been battling melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, and, according to TMZ, spent his final days in hospice care. His death comes just weeks after Kelly faced backlash for abruptly cancelling her Las Vegas residency, citing 'personal reasons' at the time without revealing the real cause. Also read: Kelly Clarkson seeks divorce from husband of nearly 7 years 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,' his management company posted late at night on Instagram. Alongside a photo, they wrote, 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' Earlier, Clarkson, without revealing details, had said she cancelled her residency because the father of her children was 'ill' and she needed to focus on her family. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' Clarkson wrote on Instagram Wednesday night. 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows, and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' Melanoma is a serious skin cancer that begins in melanocytes. These are the cells that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. It can also develop in the eyes and often starts on skin damagecd by too much sun exposure. While the exact cause isn't fully known, ultraviolet (UV) light is a major reason behind. The risk increases for people over 40. Also read: 'Kardashian gang' Beyoncé, JLo, and Lauren Sanchez accused of 'naked racism' against white women; Megyn Kelly defends Sydney Sweeney as a 'natural beauty' Kelly and Brandon married in 2013, back when he was her talent manager and his father, Narvel Blackstock, ran the company that also managed her. Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020, and after a long, messy court battle, it was finalised in 2022. The marriage had already been on shaky ground, something the singer had hinted at before, but she still kept a united front for the family. After his death, a source told Page Six, 'When she found out he was sick, she stayed protective of him for the kids' sake. Kelly has always kept it classy. Earlier this year, it became clear Brandon wasn't doing well. She's been devastated for the kids.' Kelly was granted primary custody, but was still ordered to pay $115,000 a month in spousal support until January 2024, along with a hefty one-time settlement. Brandon Blackstock's family business managed big country stars like Blake Shelton and Carly Pearce. Narvel was married to Reba McEntire for 26 years. Kelly Clarkson first met Blackstock back in 2006 at the Academy of Country Music Awards. They met again in 2012 at the Super Bowl, where Kelly sang the national anthem. A year later, they got married. Though their marriage faced a lot of ups and downs, Blackstock's illness was kept so private that most people even some who worked with Kelly, didn't know what was going on

Weight loss: Fat loss coach reveals 5 morning habits that can speed up the process
Image credits: Getty Images If there's one thing all the lifestyle and fitness influencers out there are right about, it's that morning habits not only shape your day but also your routine and life. When it comes to weight loss, just hitting the gym in the evening and controlling your diet will not cut it. It seems that what you also need to focus on is making a disciplined morning routine if you really want to achieve your desired weight. Tegan Michelle, a Metabolic Fat Loss Coach who often shares weight loss tips on Instagram, recently shared 5 tips on structuring your mornings in a way that supports your fat loss better. "Mornings set the tone for your entire day. If fat loss, balanced hormones, and sustained energy are your goals, you need to start your day with intention," wrote Michelle in the caption of the video that has received 1.2M views on the social media app. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What are the 5 morning habits that support weight loss? These are the 5 habits the fat loss coach suggested: Begin the day with lemon or apple cider water Image credits: Getty Images Before drinking coffee, Michelle advises drinking warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar water as it helps stimulate digestion and wake up the gut, flushes out toxins and reduces bloating, alkalizes the body, supports liver detox and stabilises blood sugar. Soak up some Vitamin D Image credits: Getty Images The second habit she suggested was to get sunlight on the skin and in the eyes within 30 minutes of waking up. The body's circadian rhythm plays a massive role in weight loss, and getting sunlight every day will regulate the metabolism, boost serotonin, balance cortisol and improve sleep quality. Stretch and move Image credits: Getty Images While sleeping, the body is at rest for 6-8 hours, and thus getting it in the groove of moving with gentle stretching, mobility work, and yoga can be beneficial. This will improve circulation and digestion, reduce stiffness and inflammation and lower stress. Eat a protein-rich breakfast Image credits: Getty Images Coffee and a bagel are no longer the breakfast norm. If weight loss is your dream, then protein is a must, as otherwise, it can lead to blood sugar crashes, cravings and overeating. A high-protein breakfast will keep you full for longer, stabilise blood sugar, and reduce unnecessary snacking and cravings. Breathe, meditate and set your intentions Image credits: Getty Images According to Michelle, fat loss isn't just about food and movement; it is also related to stress management. Chronic stress can lead to cortisol spikes, which make the body hold on to belly fat. Thus, having calm mornings will help the body lower its cortisol and also improve digestion.

Can a 'scratch' cause THIS deadly brain infection
In a rare incident in Mumbai, a young girl ended up in the ICU after a seemingly harmless cat scratch led to a dangerous brain infection. After rescuing a stray kitten, she contracted neurobartonellosis, a rare form of cat scratch disease. A tiny scratch landed a young girl in the ICU, and shortly after, she was diagnosed with a rare, but dangerous brain infection. This rare case has shocked many, with many wondering if a seemingly harmless scratch could lead to brain damage. A rare case Dr Vishal Gabale, a functional medicine specialist based in Mumbai, India, has recently shared a rare case, where a child ended up in the intensive care unit, after playing with a cat. Two weeks before landing in the hospital, the girl had rescued a stray kitten. 'She never knew she would end up in ICU just for helping this kitten,' Dr. Gabale said in an Instagram video , stressing the importance of handling animals with care. And no, the girl didn't get rabies. 'So, exactly two weeks later when she helped this kitten, she collapsed at school. She came to her ER with generalized seizure, high-grade fever, and weakness on the left side of the body. Looking at the symptoms, we were suspecting an infection. But there were no signs of meningitis, no toxoplasmosis, her CSF was normal, only lymphocytic leucitosis was there. But when we did the MRI, it was showing a ring-enhancing lesion in right parietal lobe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Earn Summer Cash Back Rewards on Groceries Save Mart Join Now Undo We were all confused,' the doctor said, explaining about the difficulty in diagnosing the cause. Cat scratch and a dangerous disease The cause remained a mystery, but the doctor soon noticed a faint scratch on the child's arm. Her mother recalled that the child had rescued a kitten and used to play with it. The doctors soon test the child for Bartonella henselae , the bacteria responsible for cat scratch disease. The results came back positive, and the girl was diagnosed with neurobartonellosis, a rare but life-threatening brain infection. The bacteria found in a cat's saliva can enter the human body through a scratch or bite. When the kitten scratched the child, the bacteria entered the body and then into the bloodstream. In most cases, cat scratch disease causes mild symptoms, such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, or fatigue, which resolve without serious complications. However, in the little girl's case, it led to the infection of the brain. 'Usually, it just causes swollen lymph nodes. But sometimes, rarely, it can cause blood brain barrier via infected endothelial cells, inflammatory cytokines, or direct infection. And then it attacks the brain, causing seizure, encephalopathy, neuroretinitis, and even hemiparesis,' the doctor said. (Pic courtesy: iStock) According to a 2023 study the incidence of cat-scratch disease was reported to be 6.4 cases per 100,000 population in adults and 9.4 cases per 100,000 population in children aged 5-9 years globally.

'This is a standard treatment for the CNS Bartonella. Slowly, she got better,' the doctor said. While most cat scratches are harmless, sometimes it could lead to serious risk. Even a small scratch should not be dismissed.
