Hyshqa Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 "US singer Whitney Houston dies aged 48 American singer and actress Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48. The cause and the location of her death were unclear, her publicist Kristen Foster told the AP news agency. A family spokesman confirmed the news. Regarded as one of the most celebrated female acts of all time, Houston also enjoyed success acting in films such as The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale. But her later career was overshadowed by drug use and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown. The peak of her success came with a string of hits in the 80s and early 90s."

Tams Teeko and Keeta Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Beautiful woman, amazing voice and a shame. But if you are going to abuse drugs...at some point your body will give in. Too many amazing people lost to drugs. Lets hope the new generation take stock and learn from it.

I woke to this news thi9s morning after talking to my partner last ngiht suggesting we will probably hear of a death very soon, whilst I was almost correct, I was actually talking about Macauley Culkin, after seeing the article about him looking awful.

Ron Tao&Sky Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Until the Autopsy results no one can say it was drink and drugs that killed her. People make me sick by surmising that they know when they don't. I know it's a tragic loss , but lets not surmise until we know for sure.............Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 The rich and the famous they have everything they want but still their not happy, yes it’s sad about Whitney Houston and all the rest that have gone due to drink an drugs.

But...as with so many recent deaths of people in the public eye who have abused their bodies in one way or another....the death of Ms Housten doesn't shock or surprise me. It does make people fall to assumption and that is wrong...so, my apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasodaisy Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 It is very sad she died, regardless of cause left behind are her daughter and others who loved her. I'm not going to judge her addiction, I just think its very sad. Also like Jamie Bulger 19 years on, another little one taken too soon.
