Whitney Houston Dead at 48

This is breaking news from her publicist that she has died age 48.

The cause and location are as yet unknown. Drugs?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17001548

Will update.

Update: Apparently she died at the Berverly Hilton Hotel in her bath.

RIP Whitney


(Strange, thought this was ok in international affairs being it happened in the USA......)

Wasn't she just in the middle of a comeback?

Re: Whitney Houston Dead at 48

Sadly, it's been confirmed. So sad that we lost in 2010 M.Jackson, 2011 E.Winehouse and now in 2012 W.Houston. Such unique talents hard to be replaced RIP My youth's artists collection is shrinking with beloved ones departing...

Yes, supposedly so... *BIG sad sigh*

EDIT: Here's one of my all time fave tracks from Whitney which I so love for it's catchiness and uplifting lyrics.

Awesome. I like this one the most, it makes me smile



This one instead makes me cry all the time (in a good way)



Rest in peace

Re: Whitney Houston Dead at 48

So so sad.... my OH was almost crying...

Drugs? maybe not directly, but as an indirect effect of abuse?

Re: Whitney Houston Dead at 48

Can't believe she's gone....
The voice and the heart of an angel

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel no matter what I'll keep it real
You know.. Time for me to do it on my own,
Time for me to stand alone

Re: Whitney Houston Dead at 48

Hate me if you will, but Whitney ruined my early teenage disco events. The Bodyguard OST, 'nuff said. I won't be sad.

Re: Whitney Houston Dead at 48

One more reason to hate the Music industry: Sony raised prices on Whitney Houston's music 30minutes after her death.
