They said: 'Even as a seasoned singer, she pushes herself too hard. 'Vegas is very dry too, and it seemed this was an issue as well for the vocal health. She was pretty much forced to postpone to prevent long-term damage.' Kelly addressed fans directly in an Instagram post ahead of the first performance, writing: 'Prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I'm going to take this weekend and the week after to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.' She added: 'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all. The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong.' Despite the last-minute postponement, Kelly is expected to begin her run on Friday 11 July. People's source added: 'She's ready to kick things off this weekend though.'

Kelly Clarkson postpones her Las Vegas residency
Kelly Clarkson feels "devastated" after postponing the opening of her Las Vegas residency. The 43-year-old pop star was supposed to begin her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Friday (04.07.25), but Kelly was forced to postpone her plans amid concerns about her voice. The chart-topping star wrote on Instagram: "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. "The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and 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. (sic)" Kelly is determined to begin her residency in the best fashion possible, and she's already looking forward to her first performance. Her post continued: "The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong. "I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on. (sic)" Kelly's Las Vega residency was originally set to feature 18 performances between July 4 and November 15. The pop star previously performed a series of sold-out shows at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in 2023 and 2024. And earlier this year, Kelly revealed what fans could expect from her residency. She said on the Today show: "This is totally different for us, how we're doing it. "It's called Studio Sessions, and the reason for that is I feel like you don't get live anymore - maybe back in the '70s - but you really don't get live what you really feel in the studios. "There's no tracks at all of any instruments or anything. It's all live. It just feels amazing in the studio, so we wanted to bring that into the setting for everybody, so it's going to be really fun."

Scorpions Cancel South American Dates as Singer Klaus Meine's Battles Respiratory Infection
German rockers the Scorpions have run into health issues amidst their 60th anniversary celebrations, cancelling a pair of South American dates due to a respiratory infection suffered by singer Klaus Meine. The group took to social media on the weekend to reveal they would be cancelling their Saturday (April 26) date in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Meine's health.

'Klaus has contracted a virus and suspected laryngitis and is unfortunately unable to sing. The band send huge apologies to all their beloved fans in Argentina and are extremely disappointed not to be able to play.' Now, the group have been forced to cancel another date as Meine's condition fails to improve, with the band again noting that their appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Bogotá, Colombia has now been axed. 'Klaus has still not recovered from the virus and respiratory infection that forced the recent Buenos Aires cancellation for Scorpions and is unfortunately still unable to sing,' a statement read. 'The band send massive apologies to all their loyal fans in Colombia and are again extremely disappointed not to be able to play in one of their favourite countries.' In both instances, the group noted their determination to 'make every effort to return' to Argentina and Colombia. The Scorpions launched their 60th anniversary tour in March, launching with a series of dates in Mexico before appearing in Brazil and Chile. Initially, the shows were scheduled to launch in February with a Las Vegas residency at PH Live at Planet Hollywood. However, these dates were postponed due to drummer Mikkey Dee's ongoing recovery process following a diagnosis of sepsis. 'We regret to inform you that due to Mikkey Dee's ongoing recovery from his recent hospitalization, we have made the decision to postpone our Coming Home to Las Vegas Residency to August 2025,' Scorpions wrote at the time. 'The health and well-being of our brother is of the utmost importance. We wish Mikkey a full and speedy recovery and look forward to rocking with you all again soon!' Currently, Scorpions are scheduled to resume their tour with a Ecuador show on May 3, with shows in Mexico to follow days later. A series of European dates throughout June and July will precede their U.S. return in August, where they will perform their postponed Las Vegas residency.
