Whitney Houston, superstar of records, films, dies



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.

I'm sure the people in charge of the Grammys are scrambling to make a tribute for her or something :/

damn i hope they do something nice. i'm not expecting much but something short and sweet.
blackwidow 12th-Feb-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
I feel like if they do a tribute it would be really tacky, especially this late.

if they got someone like Mariah to sing I think it could be done simple and classy
