Whitney Houston Dead at 48

Whitney Houston, the pop singer, has died on the eve of the Grammy awards.

Her death came on the eve of the annual music awards. Houston, 48, had a history of drug problems.

“At 3:55 p.m. Whitney Houston was pronounced dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,” said a spokesman for the Beverly Hills police.

He said police were called to the hotel to the fourth floor to help Houston, but attempts to resuscitate the singer were unsuccessful. He said no cause of death was immediately available.

Houston was in Los Angeles for a party that producer Clive Davis holds every year on the eve of the Grammys. She was seen a couple of days ago stumbling from a nightclub in Hollywood, with blood trickling down her leg.

Houston, a prodigious talent with unique power, color and range in her voice at its height, was one of the most successful pop singers in modern music history. She was the most awarded female singer of all time, winning six Grammy Awards in her career, two Emmys and 22 American Music Awards.
