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.

Biotoxic_hazard_835 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I just heard the news and I'm totally speechless. I knew she had drug use problems but I didn't think it was so extreme. She was really talented and had a beautiful voice. May she rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam14160 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 What is truly sad is this for some reason is not new in the music industry. . .R.I.P Miss Whitney along with Elvis, Morrison, etc. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fix-this! Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 far too young to die and a ANOTHER great talent lost... when is hollywood & the music industry going to learn? how many have to die? drugs are BAD for you people, get help! IMO there should be a clause in their contracts that if they use drugs or drink excessively they cannot work, maybe that will straighten them up a bit. mandatory drug screens FTW!
