Dolly Parton consoles Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire after the death of their loved one, Brandon Blackstock.

Country music star Dolly Parton offered words of comfort to Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire following the death of Brandon Blackstock, Clarkson's ex-husband and McEntire's former stepson. Blackstock, a talent manager, died at 48 after a three-year battle with skin cancer. Parton advised them to cherish the positive memories and honor Blackstock's memory, drawing from her own recent experience with loss as her husband Carl Dean passed away earlier this year.
