Pop superstar Whitney Houston has passed away aged 48. The blues and
soul songstress died in a Beverly Hills hotel room on Sunday, just hours
before she was to appear at a pre-Grammy Awards party. Ms Houston
was expected to receive a lifetime achievement award at the main
ceremony. Medics arrived at her room around 3.43 pm and administered
CPR. She was pronounced dead 12 minutes later. The cause of her death
is not yet known. Her body was quickly removed from the hotel to avoid
the chaos of the world’s media, which had congregated to cover the
story. A police officer told reporters: "She has been positively identified
by friends and family…and next of kin have already been notified.”
Whitney Houston was one of the world’s most influential, successful and
popular singers. She was born into a musical family. Her mother Cissy
was a gospel singer and her aunt was the legendary Dionne Warwick.
Houston won six Grammy awards among many other top prizes. She
released seven studio albums and sold over 170 million CDs, singles and
videos. Her most famous song is her worldwide hit, "I Will Always Love
You." In 1992, she married soul singer Bobby Brown. They had a rocky
relationship that was widely covered in the press. The last 10 years of her
life were dominated by drug use. Tributes to her have poured in from the
world’s music superstars. Rihanna posted on Twitter: "No words, just
tears."
