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.

That's the way the most butchered song in the world is meant to sounds.
Drugs are a motherfucker for some.

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
although this was more or less forseeable, that damn crack, doesn't negate the fact that the world lost a beautiful woman and a beautiful voice today.
And I'm not a fan...but I do recognize her talent, and this is a damn tragedy.
Her poor daughter, and family.
RIP Whitney
to me that's a sad state of our society.

Not for me.
Her death was a reminder of my homeless brother, and it will be more or less likely the same fate for him. My entire family prepares for the bad news, yet we try to hang on to a morsel of hope.
Just found him after not hearing from him for about 4 months. But I do prepare myself for very similar news.
He aint no celebrity. He's my brother. This just all hits too close to home. Sigh.
It's tragic whether its a celebrity, your neighbour, your brother.
RIP Whitney.
Indeed to both statements.
Wasn't she seen at one point taking drugs with her daughter? I think I read that once.I hope her daughter's fate doesn't go the same way.
I wasn't a fan but this song took me through college

Still a great song
i think he's been breaking news of dead celebrities on here longer than that website's been around
..end of.
So sad, she's one of those people/artists who have always been around, at least for me. It's hard to believe she's gone, and at 48, around the same age as my Mum. :(
I'm not really sure where you are coming from........I think an addict's death is perhaps more tragic because it is seen as being more preventable than people who say die of disease, or accidents etc.
If you're referring to the press coverage of her death (the sad state of society?), it's kind of to be expected, this is one of the biggest selling artists of all time, she sold something like 200 million records, so naturally people care. Her fall from grace is a truly sad story. She was unquestionably one of the greatest vocalists the world has ever heard, and she lost everything to addiction. I don't think it's any sadder that she has passed away than it is when any 'normal' person does - but it's certainly more newsworthy.

What does he/she expect to happen?
Sooner or later your heart is going to stop working.
Prescription drug overdose?
Drowned in a bathtub?
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
she had a voice like an angel, a simply beautiful lady
journey on Miss Whitney
