RIP Whitney Houston
By Tim Ryan
Singer Whitney Houston has died of the age 48. As of now, the cause and location of her death remain unknown. Based on the rapidly changing reports from CNN and all of the rumors flying around Twitter, we’ll leave it at that until we hear something just a tad more concrete. The sad news comes just one night before the Grammy Awards. Houston had been scheduled to attend a pre-party for the event this evening hosted by Clive Davis, who discovered the singer in New York City back in 1983 while performing alongside her mother.
To sports fans, Whitney Houston will always be remembered for her spine-tingling rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl XXV in Tampa. The unforgettable performance pretty much set the gold standard, leaving everyone else dueling for rights to second place.
Houston is survived by Bobbi Kristina, her 18-year-old daughter with ex-husband Bobby Brown.
