Reba McEntire is honoring her stepson Brandon Blackstock following the news of his death. About a week after his family revealed he died, McEntire took to Instagram to share some kind words about Blackstock.

Both Clarkson and McEntire are reportedly missing tapings of The Voice after Blackstock’s August 7 death from melanoma (a form of skin cancer). Seasons 28 and 29 of the show are filming pre-taped episodes this summer, but McEntire and Clarkson are going to have to sit a few out, according to The U.S. Sun.
