This fall also sees Clarkson, 43, returning to her red chair on The Voice, per a Deadline, which reported she will be back for the 29th season; Jennifer Hudson, who previously served as a coach on The Voice, had stepped in for Clarkson for a battle round rehearsal.
The “Miss Independent” singer last appeared on the competition show’s twenty-third season.
Clarkson joins John Legend and Adam Levine for the upcoming season, where the “powerhouse coaches who form the only panel in the show’s history comprised entirely of Voice winners,” per a press release.
Clarkson’s time away from The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Voice comes after her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock died of complications from melanoma on Aug. 7.
She revealed his illness on Aug. 6 when she announced she was postponing the August dates of her Las Vegas residency to be “fully present” for their children River, 11, and Remington, 9.
