The morning before the biggest event in the music industry – the Grammy Awards, came the shocking news that the award-winning singer and an icon Whitney Houston passed away.
Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. Saturday in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton. A Los Angeles County coroner’s official said early Sunday that her body had been taken to a morgue.
“There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent,” Rosen said.
The singer was staying at Beverly Hilton for the pre-Grammy Awards party where she sang two days ago with singer Kelly Price. She also agreed to attend and perform for the annual pre-Grammy party of her long-time friend and the man who discovered her Clive Davis. Everyone was truly shocked by the death of the one of the most award-winning singers of all time. With this, Grammy producers quickly arranged a Tribute special in the Grammy Awards tonight where Jennifer Hudson will sing Whitney Houston classics.
Houston was known for her hit songs like “I Will Always Love You”, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”, “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and many others.
As of now, there is no final report as to what caused Houston’s death but everyone in the music industry and all the fans all over the world are deeply saddened by the news. Whitney Houston will forever be an icon in the music industry.
