J.F. 1,484 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, has died. She was 48.Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unclear.At her peak in the 1980s and `90s, Houston the golden girl of the music industry and one of the world's best-selling artists.Among her hits were How Will I Know, Saving All My Love for You and I Will Always Love You. She won multiple Grammys including album and record of the year.Her success carried her beyond music to movies like The Bodyguard.But by the end of her career, drug use took its toll as her record sales plummeted and her voice became raspy and hoarse.http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/02/11/whitney-houston-dies.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesChick 1,260 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Sad to hear, but I am not overly surprised. She had struggled with addiction for so long and that is hard on the body and the mind.RIP Whitney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Odd similarity to MJ. They both were at their peaks at the same time, both can be credited for opening doors to black pop artists (and black artists in general), both got sucked into the world of drugs, both respected and admired eachother, and now finally both died almost at the same age.... and I wouldn't be surprised if she OD'ed as well or if it was a consequence of her drug abuse.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Reportedly she died in her hotel bathtub after having taken too many prescription drugs, hours before she was scheduled to perform at the Grammy's.. I don't know if she drowned because of falling asleep or smth like that. It's mindless how celebrities just waste their lives like that - give a person too much money and you won't know what to do with it.. Pharmaceutical companies will smell big money, management will hire them private doctors and convince them that they need treatment for whatever reason (stress or whatnot).. and that's how it goes. The same people who build them up end up knocking them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
