I grabbed his arm and said something is wrong,” Clarkson remembers. “It was more painful than appendicitis. It happened literally a week after my surgery, so I was very scared.” Clarkson presented the Billboard Awards when her appendix manifested. But she continued the show. “I didn’t want to disappoint people,” she says. “I just tried to relax, but in reality I was in so much pain.”
