In 1992, Whitney married pop star rapper and bad boy, Bobby Brown, they have a daughter called Bobbi. Later news emerged that Bobby and Whitney had become addicted to drugs. By the late 1990s both Whitney and Bobby were no longer singing and were rarely seen in public. On a few occasions, Whitney was seen in public looking haggard and at times her appearance shocked fans who had once been drawn to the singer's world-class smile and approachable glamour in music videos, album covers, concerts.
Kristen Foster, a publicist, announced Saturday that the singer had died, and police sources later confirmed that she was found unresponsive in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel about 3:30 p.m. Paramedics performed CPR on her, but she was pronounced dead about 4 p.m., Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen told KTLA News. An investigation into the cause of death is pending.
On Thursday afternoon at the hotel, Houston drew the attention of reporters and security staff with her erratic behaviour, dripping sweat and dishevelled clothes. Reports say that the singer was disruptive at that day's rehearsals for music mogul Clive Davis' annual Grammy industry party and showcase. Whitney was supposed to perform at the Grammy event on Saturday.
Late Saturday, Davis told those assembled at the party that he had a "heavy heart" and was "personally devastated" by Houston's death, but "simply put, Whitney would have wanted the music to go on, and her family has asked for us to carry on."
