Whitney Houston in her glory years!

The world has lost it's most iconic singing
superstar. It is with deep sadness that
Whitney Houston has tragically died
from a reported drug overdose, paramedics
were called to her hotel room at
the Beverly Hilton in L.A, the medics tried
their best to revive Whitney but she did
not respond to their efforts to revive the star.
The singer was pronounced dead and
her remains were transported to the
L.A County Morgue.

Millions of fans and celebs
took to the net to pay tribute
 to the late star .

Whitney's version of Dolly Parton's song
I Will Always Love You was covered by Houston
as the soundtrack to the film hit, The Bodyguard,
which also starred Whitney, who made this song
one of the biggest music songs of her time.
Whitney's unique interpretation of the song
turned her into the biggest global music star.

Dolly Parton paid tribute to her pal,
Whitney Houston:
"I will always be grateful and in awe of the
wonderful performance she did on my song and
 I can truly say from the bottom of my heart,
'Whitney, I will always love you.
You will be missed'."

Country Popstar LeAnn Rimes wrote: 

'Whitney Houston was the first cd I ever bought.
 She had a God given gift.
Hopefully, she’s singing with angels now.'
LeAnn Rimes


The 48-year-old star had been battling with
addiction to hard drugs and alcohol for
years and only this week photos emerged
of the star with a glazed look over her eyes, 
she looked very unwell and troubled.

Whitney Houston had a divine voice,
elegance and grace about her. Her
incredible talent earned her many
awards thoughout her career but
sadly the pressures of her famous
lifestyle proved fatal to her
well being in the end.

Whitney leaves behind her ex-husband,
Bobby Brown and their daughter,
Bobbi Kristina

I think the whole world is in shock
right now that we have lost her at
such a young age. She had so much
more to live for, which is so tragic.

Whitney thank you for your sweet music,
which brightened up my day and
my life X

RIP Whitney X
May you be at peace
and sing with the choirs
in heaven X
