00:00The Voice staff ordered not to speak to Kelly Clarkson about X's death.

00:05It'd be too emotional.

00:07Everyone at The Voice was ordered to keep quiet when Kelly Clarkson returned to the show

00:11following her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's death in August, according to The Sun.

00:16The production staff was told not to bring up Brandon, even if just to say we were sorry,

00:22an insider told the outlet.

00:24I get it.

00:25She was there to work and doesn't need to be reminded of this tragedy every five seconds.

00:30It'd be too emotional, continued the insider, adding that everyone on the set loves the

00:35pop star, 43, so they were happy to oblige.

00:39The mom of two missed about a week of shooting season 29, during which fellow American Idol

00:45star Jennifer Hudson temporarily stepped in.

00:48Brandon's passing delayed some crucial parts of the season, like certain tapings and shooting

00:53promos, but they were able to make up for lost time.

00:56So ultimately, it ended up getting evened out.
