RIP Whitney Houston

Sangerinden Whitney Houston er død. Hun blev 48 år. Hun blev fundet livløs i et badekar på et hotelværelse i Beverly Hills i Los Angeles.

Whitney Houston var i en årrække gift med rapperen og narkomanen Bobby Brown. Houston var også i lange perioder afhængig af stoffer.

Også en anden skidt karl havde øje for Whitneys skønhed. Den nu afdøde terrorleder Osama bin Laden var ifølge kilder skudt i Whitney Houston, som han mente måtte være født som muslim.

Whitney Houston var model, inden hun indledte en succesrig sangkarriere. Hendes største hit var en coverversion af Dolly Parton 's I will always love you. Hun havde også en hovedrolle i filmen Bodyguard, hvor hun spillede overfor Kevin Costner.

Allison Samuels fra The Daily Beast, der interviewede Whitney Houston flere gange, befandt sig tilfældigvis på Beverly Hilton, hvor Whitney Houston blev fundet død på et værelse. Allison Samuels har skrevet en nekrolog:

"Five years ago, I pre-wrote an obituary for Whitney Houston after a disturbing interview with her in which she kept cursing and was obviously high. I knew at that point that either she was going to get better or she was going to die.

Last night, I was looking forward to seeing her. I was taping a segment for VH1’s Behind the Music about Akon at the Beverly Hilton, which was also where music mogul Clive Davis’s annual pre-Grammy party was set to be. VH1 was supposed to interview Houston right after me about the Davis party (he was her mentor), her upcoming movie, Sparkle, and getting back on track. She was also going to be interviewed for a Behind the Music about Brandy.

Someone kept banging on the door as we taped, so we stopped. The woman at the door, who it turned out was Houston's personal assistant, Lynn Volkman, said, “Whitney’s not coming, Whitney’s not coming.” And then finally said, “She’s dead.” Volkman was in a daze."
