August 9th 1963 – February 2012
It’s 13 years ago this month that my own mother died at aged 48 so I know first hand how it really is no age to die.
The singer/actress was found unresponsive at the Beverly Hilton hours before the Pre-Grammy Awards Party. She leaves behind her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, from her 14 year marriage to Bobby Brown. The marriage doomed by drug abuse and his affair.
Here is some of her best bits:
Praying for Bobbi Kristina Bobby Brown and the rest of the Houston family before I lay down tonight RIPWHITNEYHOUSTON
Oh my God. Been out all day shopping and to the cinema with the kids. Haven’t seen the news – then I read this post.
Unbelievable – yet in recent years she’s been gaunt and a little out of it, like she’s had some kind of addiction or health problem. Sure it’ll all come out in the next few days.
What a great talent and a terrible shame.
Rumour is cocaine overdose but no less tragic x
Love all those songs! Such a sad loss…such a waste.
Best singer ever, enough said!
