FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Later that night she was seen looking dishevelled at a Hollywood nightclub,
drinking tequila, and video showed her performing there briefly in a
faltering voice. On Friday night she was seen “partying hard” in
the hotel bar with friends.
She had been attending rehearsals for the Grammy Awards, giving vocal tips to
singers Brandy and Monica. Her behaviour there was also described as
erratic, and she was said to have been sweating profusely, and alcohol was
smelled on her breath.
The singer’s mother, Cissy Houston, spoke to her on the telephone half an hour
before she died and Miss Houston was said to have been looking forward to
the party. The singer’s 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina was at the hotel.
As news of the singer’s death spread tributes poured in from prominent
entertainment figures and fans across the world, with fellow performers
calling Miss Houston a “legend” and an “icon.”
Music’s biggest night the Grammy Awards, where she had been due to appear on
Sunday, were quickly transformed to include tributes including one to be
sung by Jennifer Hudson.
Houston’s godmother, the soul singer Aretha Franklin, said: “I just can’t
talk about it now, It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe
what I was reading coming across the TV screen.”
Mariah Carey said she was “heartbroken and in tears over the shocking
death of my friend,” and Dolly Parton said: “Mine is only one of
millions of hearts broken.”
From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, the gospel-trained Houston was one of
the world’s bestselling recording artists. She mesmerised audiences with her
powerful vocals, released seven studio albums and sold 170 million CDs,
singles and videos.
Songs like “I Will Always Love You” and “Saving All My Love”
became global hits which were endlessly attempted by lesser singers at
karaoke events everywhere. She also starred in movies including “The
Bodyguard” with Kevin Costner.
But her career began to unravel as she battled drug addiction, spent various
spells in rehab, and embarked on a tumultuous 15-year marriage to “bad
boy” singer Bobby Brown.
In an infamous 2002 interview, with Brown by her side, Miss Houston told ABC’s
Diane Sawyer: “The biggest devil is me.”
She confessed to abusing cocaine, cannabis and pills, but famously denied
using crack cocaine, saying: “I make too much money to ever smoke crack.
Crack is wack.” Her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, she was
unable to hit the high notes of her prime, and record sales nosedived.
In 2007 her marriage to Brown ended and two years later she made a comeback,
releasing a new album after seven years. But as she went on tour many fans
were unimpressed and some walked out.
The singer had recently finished work on a film called “Sparkle”
which will see her posthumous return to the big screen in cinemas in August.
Ironically, the film focuses on a group of musical sisters whose lives are
blighted when one of them becomes addicted to drugs and sees her life spiral
out of control.
On the night she died Miss Houston had been due to attend a lavish,
star-studded annual pre-Grammy party hosted by her long-time mentor, record
producer Clive Davis, at the Beverly Hilton.
A surreal scene unfolded at the hotel as the party continued while Miss
Houston’s body remained in her room on the fourth floor, which was sealed
off with yellow police tape.
Entertainment reporters had been waiting to interview her in a room downstairs
when they were informed she was dead.
Guests at the hotel bar watched news of the singer’s death unfold on a
television screen while others in the lobby were cheering the arrival of
party guests, including Britney Spears, to the red carpet.
At a service entrance to the hotel a van marked “crime lab” waited.
The body was eventually removed on a gurney after midnight through a back
door.
At the party an emotional Mr Davis told the stunned celebrity audience: “I
am personally devastated by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me
for so many years.
“Simply put, Whitney would have wanted the music to go on and her family
asked us to carry on.”
Tony Bennett performed a tribute. Television personality Larry King, who was
at the party, said: “Her remains are still in the hotel. It’s really
sad.”
Kelly Osbourne, the reality television star and singer, decided not to go to
the party. She said on Twitter: “Not going to any pre-Grammy parties as
I don’t feel it is appropriate.”
Speaking at the hotel Lieutenant Mark Rosen of the Beverly Hills Police told
The Daily Telegraph that a member of Miss Houston’s entourage found her and
called hotel security. The hotel called emergency services and paramedics
arrived a few minutes later. He said there was no sign of foul play.
Bobby Brown, who was performing in Mississippi, told the crowd there: “I
love you Whitney. The hardest thing for me to do is to come on this stage.”
