Speculation is that Whitney Houston could have taken a fatal combination of Xanax pills and alcohol that could have fatally sedated her while taking a bath. It’s possible the singer could have passed that way or she may have drowned in the bath tub.
The Grammy’s payed tribute to Whitney Houston by having Jennifer Hudson sing Houston’s song “I Will Always Love You.” The tribute was emotional as Hudson nailed the performance.
The late singer presented Hudson with her first Grammy in 2008, and Hudson admitted that meeting Houston, who she has said inspired her career,“almost overshadowed getting the Grammy.”
At a pre-Grammy event, Hudson said Houston’s tune “I Will Always Love You” inspired her, adding that she would “create duets with her because I wanted to sing with Whitney Houston.” Hudson was reportedly in tears during rehearsals, but was able to make it through the performance.
It’s almost surreal that Whitney Houston has passed away at such an early age. Bishop T.D. Jakes had this to say:
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely passing of Whitney Houston, whom we were blessed to have just completed work with on the remake of the film “Sparkle.” We ask the world to join us in lifting up Whitney’s family in prayer and ask God for their strength and comfort during this devastatingly difficult time. At the apex of her career, Whitney had no peer, with a voice that shaped a generation. She has left behind a musical and film legacy that will endure…. she will be sorely missed by us all.”
Dr. Bobby Jones says this,
