Kelly Clarkson has opened up about the terrifying cancer scare she had back in 2006.
She was apparently told by doctors that she had cancer on the day of the Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for – and won – Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album.
Speaking to Bilboard's Pop Shop Podcast, the singer revealed: "Not many people know this —not to be a Debbie Downer— but I was told that morning that I had cancerous results for something.
"Here's the horrible part: I went the whole day crying. They redid my make-up like four times because I was like, 'Wow, so young.' I was just completely freaking out."
:(:(:(
Kelly then added: "Then when I won, I thought, 'Oh my God. This is like God giving me one more thing before something horrible happens.'"
But it turned out to a huge mix up, and the doctors had actually given Kelly the wrong results. She explained: "I went to the doctor's the next day and they apologised for mixing up results. And I was like, 'Are you for real?!' I was like, 'You completely ruined my entire [experience].' The first time for an artist... as a kid watching the Grammys, that was a big dream!"
Kelly described that as the 'worst/greatest day' and expressed her shock at the doctors being able to mix-up the results.
"It was very much a roller coaster ride, that day, for me. So, it's kind of unfortunate, but a lot of the moments got stolen from that mishap. But hey, I didn't have cancer!"
Thank goodness!
