When original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson returned to the show’s stage to perform her touching tribute to the father figures in her life, there was hardly a dry eye left in the house.

Clarkson, who is heavily pregnant with her second child, performed her song Piece by Piece which she wrote as a tribute to her husband Brandon Blackstock who is father to her two-year-old daughter, River Rose.

While the song praises Blackstock for his efforts as a loving father, it also alludes to Clarkson’s relationship with her own father, who left when she was six years old.

Idol judge Keith Urban, 48, was moved to tears by the performance.

HollywoodLife.com reported that Clarkson struck a chord with Urban, who has two daughters of his own and who lost his own father in December 2015.

Afterwards, as Clarkson was celebrated with a standing ovation, she admitted she was “super pregnant and hormonal”.

“It’s just a touching song for me I wrote it about my little girl when I was pregnant and now I’m pregnant with my little boy … which I hope comes out soon,” she added.
