Hey everyone,
As some of you may already know, singer Whitney Houston died earlier this evening at her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. She was 48 years old. Police found her in her hotel room at 3:55pm PST and paramedics immediately performed CPR, but it was already too late. No cause of death has been revealed yet, but police don't suspect that foul play was involved. According to TMZ, various prescription pill bottles were found in her hotel room. She was found in her bathtub, but police don't know if she drowned or OD'd at this point. The singer had battled drug addiction for a number of years.
Whitney burst onto the scene with her self-titled debut album in 1985, producing a string of hits including "Saving All My Love For You" which was her first of 7 consecutive #1 hits (a record which still stands to this date). Her sophomore album "Whitney" came in 1987 and became the first female artist in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Her most famous song came in 1992 with "I Will Always Love You" from the movie The Bodyguard, which was a cover of a Dolly Parton song that hit #1 all across the world. Her life spiraled out of control after marrying Bobby Brown that same year and started dabbling in marijuana and cocaine use that caused her music career to greatly suffer after that. She was an amazing talent who inspired countless entertainers today and left an indelible mark on the music industry.
